My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Ricky. He was a fine boy and a good soldier. I was Ricky's ninth grade science teacher and it was my son's inspiration which led to Ricky joining the army. Now they lie in the same cemetary together. I will never forget Ricky and the correspondance we shared after he joined the army. May the Good Lord Bless and keep him and all of his family and friends. Ricky is in a better place now watching over us all.
