My grandfather was the best man I knew. Me and him had a very close relationship. I will always remember the good memories and good times that I had around him. I want him to watch down on us from heaven.

I first met Rick Faulk at the Standdown for Homeless Veterans. Hard to believe that's been fifteen or more years ago. He was always encouraging to me in whatever needs presented themselves. Rick was obviously a family man - not only immediate family but the family of Veterans as well. It's hard to imagine a VFW world without him in it. Rick fought the good fight on behalf of his family and on behalf of his country. The last few years have been tough and he remained active and always had that...

A few years ago our Indy based Marine Reserves were activated to go take out Sadam. Rick Faulk and Post 2839 stood up along side the Marine Corps League and the Ernie Pyle Post to support over 100 families of these deployed Marines. Food Banks, Diapers, Car repair, Home Appliance Repair and just plain support of a loving helping hand made us all a common patriotic support of our troops.
That is when and where I met Rick.
A couple of Years Later, The same year Rick was State...
