As many have found the news about my brother Richard "Richie" Madrid, it comes with a heavy heart knowing that he has gained his eternal wings.  Richie wasn't no ordinary person, he was a man of character, a giving and caring man to many, he was a friend, son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew, husband and father that always put everyone before himself. And to some of us, including me, he was a superhero. Now that he has gained his wings, his wife and children are doing the best they can to keep moving forward but its not easy.  Due to this unforeseen circumstance, with his son and wifes' blessing, I am asking each and every one of you if you can, donate to his family in this time of mourning. Richie gave us everything he had including many reasons to smile, he sacrificed his life as he was deployed over seas, he donated blood to save lives, all because that is the man he is and will forever be. Richie has always been a proud man, doing things and making it happen, proving to all that things can and will be done. Now, I want him to be proud of all of us banding together in his honor and making things happen for his family.  This is for you Richie! On your feet Marine! You have received your last orders to report for duty, we will take it from here.
