This man is one of the bravest men to serve his country as a Marine in the Vietnam War. He sustained several gun shot wounds and over 100 pieces of shrapnel throughout his body. He's a great father who taught our family about the history of the Vietnam War so that it never gets repeated again. My father has taken lives to survive and lost many close friends in Vietnam and to suicide when his buddies returned home who didn't receive the help the needed to treat there PTSD. Anyone who endures what my father has gone through is a HERO.

Richard told me of an experience as a member of a unit that crossed into China on an undisclosed mission. As US troops they were not supposed to be in China in the Korean conflict. They were forbidden to discuss it. They were discovered. Many were killed. He was one of a few that survived. They crossed back out of China by walking through Chinese lines via a safe passage. As he mentioned to me the severe physical and mental stress of that experience effected him greatly after his service.
