Rick Henrey was a door gunner in a Huey when his ship was lost in the South China Sea on September 25, 1967.
Rick and seventeen other Santa Ynez Valley men who have given their lives in war were remembered today on a
permanent plaque – dedicated jointly by the valley American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars Posts.

This plaque in Solvang Park says it all.
