My Dad was a tank commander who served in North Africa and Italy from 1942 to 1945. He was proud of his role in the liberation of Rome.
My dad served with pride and dignity as a CPL. Gun Crewman Medium Artillery 864. He served from 11/5/42 to 12/12/45. He served in many battles that our family was not aware of, my dad was very quiet and did not talk about his over seas tours, except maybe in passing. He served in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes and Central Europe. He was awarded the following: The European African Middle Eastern Theater Campaign Ribbon, The American Theater Campaign Ribbon, The Victory Medal and The Good Conduct Medal. We are very proud of my dad and his military accomplishments.
I am very proud to say that this wonderful man is my father, he has been through a lot in his life and he served proudly. The Marines should be proud and I thank God for him.
My Daddy served in the Navy valiantly during the Vietnam War. He was very involved with the POW/MIA vigils in Maine and was buried in his cammies that he wore to those vigils when he died April 16th, 2009. Thanks Daddy, for your service to our country and always taking care of us girls.
He never talks about it as it was a very difficult time in his life. He is deaf in one ear because of the loud sound of the cannons.
Thank you Uncle Mike, you never spoke of what you had to do, but we are very proud! You were very brave! Love and miss you very much!!! Love, Shawn, Belinda, Samantha and Sabrina.
To my amazing Daddy! My Hero!
Dad I love and miss you so much, you were a true hero.I love you, all my love, Sherry
I want family and friends to know how proud I am of Richard. He has suffered greatly since his tour of duty with the US Marines, 1966-1970. He has survived it all and continues to cope. He has worked very hard to get to where he is today. Please support all our troops; you really do not know how much they need our support, especially when they return home. Learn from the Vietnam veterans.
