THE WALL OF FACES

I was 4 when my first cousin Richard got his wings and soared away to the heavens. I remember his picture hanging in our Grandmas home and it was hard for anyone to try and explain to me his sacrifice. It sounds like Richard made a big impact on the people who crossed his path during his way to short life on this earth. Richard you are a Hero!

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Jeff Maxson is especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

Gone for so long but never forgotten.
Richards personality still lives on in my memory. His laugh and humor is still present
