In Memory of Richard Marin, LCDR, USN,
Deceased
"In one sense there is no death. The life of a
soul
on earth lasts beyond his departure. You will always feel
that
life touching yours, that voice speaking to you, that
spirit
looking out of other eyes, talking to you in the familiar
things
he touched, worked with, loved as familiar friends. He
lives on
in your life and in the lives of all others that knew
him".

"I believe in America because in it we are
free--free to
choose our government, to speak our minds, to observe our
different religions. Because we are generous with our
freedom,
we share our rights with those who disagree with us.
Because we
hate no people and covet no people's lands. Because we are
blessed with a natural and varied abundance. Because we
have
great dreams and because we have the opportunity to make
those
dreams come true." (Wendell Willkie)
The American Veteran Medal will be awarded to you
upon
completion of your tour of active service.
