To the family of Colonel Ricks, you are in our thoughts and prayers . I first met the Colonel about four years ago at Office Depot. She and I were making copies, when she saw my copy of our son's retirement program from the Air Force, She offered an insisted to pay for them. Her exact words "we take care of our own". She only wanted a copy of it.
