Tribute to a Friend

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero

 
This page is in honor of a friend of mine who passed away. His name was Richard Dalton, and he was a retired MSGT with the 1st SFG.

Rest in peace, my friend. You are truly missed.

MSGT Richard Dalton, 1st SFG (Ret.)

I was working on the figure on the right to present to Mr. Dalton on Veteran's Day 2008.  Sadly, he unexpectedly passed away the day before that, and I was never able to give it to him.  I made the figure on the left a couple of weeks later, and I keep them both on a shelf in my living room along with a photo that he gave me of his A-team in Khe Sanh, Vietnam.

 

The figure is wearing the rank of Sergeant First Class, which was his rank in the photo (see below) I based the project on.
