[history]
Received word from his son yesterday that FReeper fatrat (David Diamond) has passed away. His son said his father loved FR. He was a Vietnam vet and patriot.
From the Patriot Guard page:
Dave was a veteran of the US Navy, having served two tours in Vietnam as a corpman to the Marines in the field. He was what's called a mustang, advancing from Hospital Corpsman to Chief Petty Officer, then commissioned as a Medical Service Corps Officer, where he retired as Lieutenant Commander. Most recently, he enjoyed motorcycling, RVing, traveling, and spending time with his granddaughter. He also performed numerous volunteer missions as a member of The Patriot Guard Riders and served as an Acting Ride Captain for the Picayune area.
From David's FR home page:
LCDR Medical Service Corps USN retired
Vietnam 1966-1967: 3rd Amtracs, 1st Marine Division Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class
current interests: motorcycling, motorhoming, poker, politics, freedom

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH!
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 23 -KJV |

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
