29 May 2007 REMEMBERED by his best friend, William R Hanna williamhanna@msn.com

31 May 2007 Larry was a great American, a great Marine and a good friend! We raised a lot of hell growing up in Canandaigua, New York, "back in the day!" Larry was killed in action the same year I was drafted, 1969. I spent 1970 between New Jersey and Oklahoma and all of 1971 "across the pond," in I Corps with an artillery unit. I thought of Larry often and wondered if I would share the same fate. The Good Lord blessed me and watched over me till I came home in December 1971. I have a rubbing from the Wall for Larry, Ralph Rizzi and guys from my unit that never made it home. I always try and catch the "Moving Wall" whenever it is anywhere near. Larry, I know that you are spending your days in the House of the Lord and that He is watching over you! God Bless! From a friend, Bob Coleates 33 Bobcat Path, Marion, NC 28752 gasketbob@charter.net From The Virtual Wall: SP4 Ralph W. Rizzi, A Co, 2nd Bn, 503rd Infantry, was killed in action on 22 June 1967 on Hill 1138, 7 kilometers southwest of Dak To, in what became known as the Battle of the Slopes.
