If you are wounded, I will carry you. If you are captured, I will come for you. If you are killed, I will always remember you.Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.""The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." -Douglas MacArthur...and if I die in a combat zone, just box me up and send me home. Tell my son I did my best, and pin my wings upon his chest....
UNTIL WE MEET IN HEAVEN...I LOVE U AND MISS U OLD MAN!

Sgt. Richard L. Ford was killed Tuesday, February 20, 2007 by a sniper in Iraq. He left in January for his 3rd deployment into Iraq. He had to rush home from his holiday leave in CT back to NC to get ready to fight once again. Richard was the bravest and most honorable man I have ever met. He leaves behind a son, many family members, and a best friend....me.Richard was the kindest, most caring, most considerate person I had ever met in my life. I met Richard almost 3 years ago and we hit it off as friends right from the start. It didnt take long for us to become close and become best friends. He was the one and only man in this world that I trusted with my life...with my everything. He was always there for me when I needed him... for a laugh or for a cry...but mostly for laughs. Richard and I would sit on the phone for hours laughing and joking around. No matter what type of mood I was in...he always made it that much better. I have to say he was the one person in this world that pretty much knew me inside and out. In life, you meet that one person that knows everything about u, the person who is first on ur mind when something good happens, when something bad happens, no matter the circumstance u wanna call them right away....well that is what he was for me. Whether it was good, bad, sad, happy, embarassing...it didnt matter what it was...i told him about it and he told me. We had many good times together and I am very thankful that I got the chance to see him right before he left for Iraq. We had a great time together and joked around the entire time. Right before he left my house, I said 3 words to him...I hate u. He laughed and said I know, I hate u too. This was the type of crazy friendship we had. We both knew how much we loved each other and cared for one another...but we joked about it and turned it into saying we hated each other cuz it meant that much to us. There were so many good things about Richard and I could ramble on and on about him...he was an amazing man and I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have him in my life. On the flip side, he was my best friend and someone who is irreplacable to me. I dont know what I am going to do without him in my life. He has been that #1 person in my life for so long now that I just dont know who to turn to. I will miss him immensely. Noone will ever replace him and he will never be forgotten. Old man...I love u and I miss u like crazy...what do i do without u....
