Mr. Morgan,
Sir, I didn't know you but as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USMC in WW II and Korea-especially in Okinawa which was the bloodiest battle fought in the Pacific. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines back then that all of us Marines who followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

It's been many years since you all lived on Sagamore Road in Weymouth, but right now it seems like only yesterday...I was saddened to learn tonight not only of Dick's passing, but of Rick's, as well. May you all find some comfort in memories of happier times.
Sincerely,
Linda Breen
