Thank You Vietnam Vets including my beloved husband, Rich, who lies in a National Cemetery (since July 15) among his fellow Nam patriots.

My beloved Rich, F100 fighter pilot in Nam, who now Flies With Eagles and walks with God!

As a fellow hun driver, and in memory of Rich, I offer these imortal words penned by John Gllespie, Jr.:

High Flight

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds...and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of...wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

May God bless you and your beloved husband ... Vance

Rich was a true patriot (and brave warrior). God blessed him with you, his loving wife and best friend. Thank you for making his life the best it could be. Rich certainly gave America the best he could do.
