This video honors First Lieutenant Richard Vickers Thompson, a 21-year-old American officer from Auburn, California who served with E Company (LRRP), 50th Infantry, 9th Infantry Division during the Vietnam War. As a young leader, he carried responsibility far beyond his years, guiding soldiers on long-range reconnaissance missions deep into hostile territory. On January 27, 1969, during operations in Kien Hoa Province, Thompson was killed in action, leaving behind courage, sacrifice, and a life cut far too short. His story exemplifies the heavy cost of military service and the profound impact of young leaders who gave their lives in defense of their country.
