During the Summer of 1969, I visited my older brother when he was stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro, NC. As a 20 year old college student I felt like a bigshot playing golf with him and 2 of his buddies and fellow AF Captains. When I returned for a visit in the Summer of 1970, I asked if we were going to play golf with Rick Meacham again. He told me Rick had been shot down and killed several weeks earlier. The words seemed too cruel to be true, but they were. Rick's sacrifice, and those of thousands like him, will long be remembered. Richard G. Mannion.
