It was such a shock when we learned you died in combat. Weren't we supposed to be invincible... I have so many great memories of my time with you in high school. My most heartfelt thanks go out to you for serving our country and my sorrow to your family, who I'm sure miss you dearly every day.

This is the first I have heard of Rick's death! I was so very sad. I remember him as an ornery teenage boy with lots of energy. He will attend the reunion in memory and with great Honor for paying the ultimate price for our great Country. Thank You Richard Gannon II. ~Kerrie Armstrong-Lakin.
