GOOD FRIEND, IN THE ARMY
P.O. BOX 117, WAPPAPELLO, MO., 63966, US
TO MY GOOD FRIEND, WHO I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
I was stationed, with Dick, at Fort Bragg, NC. I met, him and his good friend Mike Weaver, when they where assigned, to the 6th Special Forces, right out of Training Group. Even though, we had only a short time together, I will always remember, these two guys. If any of Dick's family, reads this, I want you to know what a great person, I thought he was. Even though I, only knew him, for a short time, to me he was one of my best friends. Our country, lost a great person and his family, can be very proud of him. Love you Dick.

Ron was, a very friendly and outging person. He was dedicated, to his family and his country and was, one helluva linebacker, for Cleveland High School. I'am certain, that Ron is not disappointed, that he gave up his life, for his country. There is a tribute, to SSG., Bozikis, at the Soldier's, Memorial, at 14th and Chestnut, in St. Louis, MO..

High School Friend
Never Forgotten
Ron and I go back to 7th Grade. We put rival neighborhood "touch" football teams together and played at a park near our homes, Carondelet Park. Even in 7th and 8th grade he was intense. Came as no surprise he would be in special forces. We went to High School together, Cleveland High, he being a Jan 66 graduate and me a June grad. Since his death I often think about Ron. I served in Vietnam 1970 - 1971, USARV,HQ Co , Special Trps. On April 14th 2005 I paid my respects at The Wall to honor Ron and some of my other buddies. I live my life every day as well as I can for them as well as myself. They are never forgotten. The pictures here I hope help you to see the man I knew, who never changed. God Bless.
