I didn't know Richard when he served in the United States Army in 1970-72. He was already a college graduate and working for Arthur Andersen in Birmingham when his draft number was called up. Richard served 2 years at Ft. Monmouth, NJ. He was a Specialist 5th Class teaching electronics ~~ fixed cyphony repair was his MOS. It was upon Richard's discharge and return to his home church in Brookwood, AL where my dad was the new pastor that we eventually met.
I wish I had known Richard during his 2 years in the Army so that I could have prayed for him, but God orchestrated it otherwise. I'm just so very proud of Richard for his service to our Country and proud to be his wife!!
This fun picture of Richard in his Army uniform was taken as part of Grandson Joshua's 6th birthday party in April 2005. :)
