Be patient my friend, one day everyone will be reunited.

So I figured it was someone else till I got the call. I dropped to my knee and cried. We were friends from middle school thru high school. You were quite, focused, and level headed. I wish I could of seen you off. Forever miss you brother.

For your sacrifice, words do little to describe our sincere gratitude. However, There is a hope for a future where such wonderful people will not have to die in the wars of the world. ISAIAH 2:4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore....REV 21:3,4-"death will be no more" Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:38:17 -0700 Felix Sanchez-Carrera on May 29, 2011 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/richwell-a-doria/#c52384 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/richwell-a-doria/#c52384 It's going on five years since you've been gone. I'm thankful for the opportunity to have met you, to have partied with you, and to have served with you. The day you died is the day I stopped celebrating Memorial Day. As a twenty seven year old man I finally understand the true meaning of this day. Eventhough I've surpassed you in age Rich, you will forever remain my big brother. Can you see what I've become? Are you proud of me? I'm sure I'll see you again Rich, but hopefully not too soon...I moved from Hawai'i to Texas in 2006 and on October 5th Richwell Doria called to wish me a Happy Birthday. He had a deployment to Iraq looming and still found time in of his busy schedule to call. That's who he was and that's how I'll always remember him.
