Richard Allen Duxbury

I had the honor of working with Rich at AWARE. He was wonderful with the kids and staff too. I miss you my friend.

During 1970-71 I served with Rich in the 1st Platoon, A Troop 4/12 Cavalry in Quang Tri Province, Vietnam. We always called him Duxbury. He drove one of three Sheridan tanks in our platoon and manned the main gun for a time. He was a no-nonsense guy, straightforward, a problem solver, and well respected by his fellow soldiers. I remember him carrying that M3A1 45 cal. grease gun as he would hop out of the driver´s hatch smoking a cigar. He rode in one of three Sheridan tanks in the Platoon....

I was honored to work with Rich at AWARE. He was a good and kind man. He put the kids' needs above his own. Ride on Rich. You will be missed my brother.

Rich and I were in the Army together. He shared stories of his life in the military and hunting in Montana. Rich was a good man and always took the time to visit whenever we crossed paths. I considered him a friend and he will be missed. God rest your soul my friend!
