Richard Long served in Vietnam with Golf 2/7.

Golf Company has been having reunions. Richard's widow, Rebecca Long Wickham, has come to several and I have gotten to know her. She still feels the loss.

The enclosed picture of Richard Long was probably taken on Hill 190 just west of the Esso Plant.
