I wish I could have met you...
Hello Grandpa, I wish I could have known what you were like. When I was little I use to look at this picture and claim it was my dad (your son). It is amazing how much he looks like you. I also wanted you to know that your great granddaughter was born on Aug 22nd. I think you passed on your onery spirit to her. :)
Love your Granddaughter, Jessie
Love your Granddaughter, Jessie

honoring you....
Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just two days after your 33rd birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

A Very Brave Soldier
Dear Daughter
I just received this Wall of Names E-Mail and began looking up some of the men I served with that gave it all for their country. I see you posted a desire for more information.
I was just assigned to the 1/26th, First Infantry Division and while waiting on command of a company, I was the S3 Air. My Job was to go up in a helicopter and a unit would pop a smoke grenade so I could give them a good position on where they were on the ground.
On the day your father was killed, I received a call that Richard had been shot in the chest from behind by a sniper and needed evacuated.
The Battalion Commander and I went to the area in his command chopper and your dad was sitting on the ground; fully alert and not in a lot of pain, so we put him in the chopper and started for the hospital. When the medic laid him down to provide IV and medical attention, he just went suddenly and very peaceful.
I only hope this does not make you sad, but I wanted you to know how brave your dad was and that he did not suffer. He was truly a great soldier and very brave.

Thank You
Dear Cap Richard Treas, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander. Your 87 birthday is tomorrow, but your 54th anniversary is 2 days later, sigh. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Agent Orange Awareness Month. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
