To the Robichaux family, though I did not serve directly with Gary, I certainly feel a kinship with him, being a former commander of the 926th Security Forces Squadron (2004-2006). We were a strong, tight-knit group of men and women warriors who served our country with dignity! Thank you for Gary's service! We salute you and we pray for your family! God's blessings and DEFENSOR FORTIS!
