Dick was my first boyfriend and a friend that I will never forget. I met him at my sister's engagement party and fell for him like a ton of bricks!! Here we are 35 years later and he is still in my thoughts and heart. He was charming,funny, handsome and bright. But mostly he was brave and true and died for his country, something we should all be grateful to him for.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAINUntil we meet again to walk down the snowy streets, to walk in the woods, to sit by the fire together. I will remember every day of my life, all that you meant, and never stop loving you. May you carry that smile forever Dick, may you hold your head high, and may you always be proud as you gallop the tracks of Eternity. Love is eternal.

I served with LT Seibert for only 2 months. I carried the field radio. His call sign was KELSO 6. It was from the name of a horse. I was transfered to HHC 196 on Jan 3 68 so I was not in the battle that he was killed in. I was the Brigade casualty reporter and I was very saddened to get this information and then to notify all in HHC.
