Richard was a helicopter pilot for the Army. He was
the company commander of the 191st Assault Helicopter
Company while it formed at Fort Bragg, NC and for its
deployment to Viet Nam
(1-Dec-1966 to 23-May-1967). It is believed that Richerd
later served in Korea. He was medically retired within a
year of leaving Viet Nam. He returned home to Whiteville,
NC, where he died of cancer. Richard's son believes that
the cancer may have been triggered by exposure to agent
orange, a defoliant used in Viet Nam, but Richard's
former First Sergeant said that the unit never disbursed
agent orange and it wasn't used in their area of operation.
