On Tuesday December 18th, I stood pall bearer for my Uncle Rico. He passed away at 88 years of age. In WWII, he was in the first wave to land at Omaha Beach on D-Day, he fought at the Battle of the Bulge, Anzio, Messina and liberated France. A Sgt. in the 623rd Engineer division under General Patton in the 3rd Army. The only other WWII soldier to have fought in more campaigns than my Uncle in WWII was Audie Murphy.
A true American hero and a member of the Greatest generation. I was proud to have him as my Uncle and honored to carry him to his final rest.
