It was difficult to believe that this man who was
laughing one minute could be such a competent pilot the next. This
was Capt. Kirk I. Riley. His loss was a deep loss for everyone.
He grew with HMM-364 and helped develop the young pilots. We
grieve his loss deeply. Capt. Riley's incident may be read by clicking

Robert H. White was an individual
who gave his all for his country. His tour was nearing the end but
he felt his place was with his aircraft and where it went he went.
This type of dedication is what makes America what it is today. To
him we pay homage.
