Richard is buried at Good Shepherd Cemetery in Huntington Beach, CA. BSM PH

A portion of Sepulveda Boulevard/State Highway Route 1 in El Segundo near Los Angeles International Airport has been dedicated to the residents of Los Angeles County who served in Vietnam. This section of highway is now designated the Los Angeles County Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway. Adopted by the California State Legislature in 2000, the highway honors the more than 350,000 California veterans who served in the Vietnam War, including the 5,822 killed or missing in action. Los Angeles County has the largest number of Vietnam veterans in California and 1,857 of its residents were killed or missing in action during that war. This memorial corridor provides a fitting and proper way for the residents of Los Angeles County to express their gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices these Vietnam veterans have made for their country.

Respectfully submitted to honor Richard Weaver.
Taft High School, located on historic US101/El Camino Real in Woodland Hills CA, dedicated this plaque in 1969 to remember former students lost in the war. It hangs in the Senior Quad outside the Administration Bldg.
Thank you brave Taft Toreador, as you cruise the highways of heaven.

I took this photo of your name on "The Wall." It meant a lot to me and really brought out the tears I had been holding back for too many years.
