Tpr. Richey,

Although you will not read any of the posts here you were an asset to the citizens you served.

You will be missed!

It is a shame that you had to " lay down your life as others have done before you".

I never had the honor of meeting you or your family, but I served with the same family and wore the same uniform as you. I hope the rest of the PSP and other active duty Officers throughout our great country serve with your dedication.

May you rest in peace!!!!
