Born and raised in Patten, Maine, Richard joined the Maine Army National Guard following graduation from high school, and deployed to Iraq in 2004 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. In this interview, Richard describes his motivations for joining the National Guard, his experiences while deployed to Iraq, and how he is helping the Foundation’s Vice President and Education Chair Steve Curtis and fellow veterans through the Run 4 Life event in Patten on Saturday, September 18 for veteran suicide awareness.Support the show (https://customcoinholders.com/product/walk-of-heroes/)
