THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you Airman Riddle for your courage.

Well Oliver, we will always remember what you gave and we will always remember who you are. What a unit what a bunch of great guys.

Dear A2C Oliver John Riddle, 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

Bobby,
I happened to be in the Pittsburgh area on Veteran's Day in 2012 and took the opportunity to stop by your grave and visit. As both a Vietnam Vet and a friend from your days at Cape Charles AFS I was honored to be able to salute you and thank you for your service.
May God bless you and keep you close!

He loved us so.

Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.

In honesty, in affection, he told us so.

He loved us so.

Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.

With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.

He was our defender, and he kept us free! He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!

He loved us so, and we should know.

For we loved him so.

Airman Riddle, you had been there and done that in Vietnam! You fought for the right without question or pause! You ghave your all for freedom and justice, to defend liberty everywhere! I honestly and strongly believe that Avonmore's own Jill Corey, whom I greatly admire as one of my three top favorite songbirds of all time, the other two being Julie Andrews, England's grande dame of music, and Dusty Springfield, another thrush from England who passed on some years ago, would be very proud of your service to America and the sacrifices made by you to keep us free! Well done, Airman! AIM HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
