Richard Larry Vines was a true friend and a loyal soldier. He died doing what he loved best which was flying. Even as a kid all he could do was talk about flying and building airplanes. Even after all these years he is missed.


Four men of the 191st AHC died when their helicopter was shot down:
  • WO1 Ricardo Robert Tejano, aircraft commander
  • WO1 Norman Michael Turone, pilot
  • SP5 Richard Larry Vines, gunner
  • SP4 Dennis Owen Akers, gunner


A memorial from his friend,
