what can i say it's been 1 1/2 years since rich has been gone.... we miss him alot..... our daughter is getting so big..... he will all ways be in our hearts and be remembered as hero..... we will never forget you...... we all love you and miss you...... until we meet again..... r.i.p......
You will forever remain in my thoughts as great soldier, a great man, but an even greater human being.
I MISS YOU! YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN MY HERO! I LOVE YOU DEARLY! R.I.P
I may have never known any of these men but that doesn't diminishes the fact that I do feel sad for the families they've left behind. Especially for fellow Filipinos who has,time and again,proven that we are a country of brave and noble men. May the Good Lord bless their souls and may their love ones find comfort in knowing that they have died fighting not just for America but for the whole world. We may be half way around the globe and some may think we don't care,but we do,I do. To all of those who have put their lives on the line,thank you. The world is a much better place because of you. And for the families and friends of these fallen heroes,someone from as far away as the Philippines feels for you. There is a reason for all of these...we may not know it now...but in due time the Lord will reveal the meaning of it all. Just when we thought we had the grandest plan for ourselves,something happens and reveals God's even bigger plans for us.
We never know why someone is taken from us. One thing I know is that god has somebody very special in Rich. I will never forget you Rich you will always be in my thoughts. "Take Arms" Cacti
