Having been a college roommate and friend of Dick Pace for nearly 50 years I know personally his character, contributions and military service. You should also know that I served 2 years in the Army with the First Armored Division at G2, the personal office during the Vietnam War. While not sent in combat I worked closely with many who were and suffered the difficulties associate with combat. Because of that experience I understand the sensitivity of assigning correct value to those who served.

Dick’s service as described by DiMeo are not only noteworthy but describe his contributions made to this country that are far above average. Not only has Dick contributed greatly through his military service but continues to contribute to the Children of fallen Patriots. The money Dick helped raise for this worthy organization has gone a long way to moderate the pain of this kid’s loses of the moms and dads. Never once since Dick served in the military has he attempted to gain personally from his military record. Dick Pace should not be condemned he should be praised which is why the motivation or ulterior motive or source for these attempts to embarrass Dick is very disappointing,. I understand that you have been notified by the organizations you contacted that corrections on the listings made by them, not Dick, have been changed. therefore I see no reason Dick’s name should continue be on your website. I’m proud that Dick Pace is my friend not only because of the man I know but the service he gave to our country and continues to… Read more »
