Dear LCPL Ralph Edward IckeII, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

Ralph was called Ronnie by his family and today is his birthday so our family is honoring my brother for his courage, bravery and love for his country. Ronnie loved being a Marine and what that stood for and the integrity and pride of being part of the Corps. Ronnie knew that when joining the Marines he might have to give the ultimate sacrifice in that endeavor and he didn't hesitate. Our family sends thoughts and prayers to all families who have lost loved ones in Vietnam and other conflicts and send love to all in honor of Ronnie on this day.3-1-2013. Thank you for your service to our country.

Love from your sister Linda and brother-in-law Buddy and family.
