In Honor Of for Richard Larry Wingate, United States Military, Honored by Old City Cemetery
In honor of a Vietnam Veteran whose courage in service and devotion to his family will never be forgotten. Though I did not know him personally, I know the love and pride his family carries for him. May this wreath stand as a tribute to his sacrifice, his strength, and the legacy he leaves behind as a beloved father and husband.
