As a Marine lieutenant he donned the naval aviator \u201cWings of Gold.\u201d By February 1967 he was flying combat missions with the VMFA-122 \u201cCrusaders\u201d out of Danang, Republic of Vietnam. In March 1968 he was ordered to leave his adored fighter-cockpit to support infantry Marines surrounded at Khe Sanh Combat Base. For thirty days he expertly rallied Marine fighter-bombers and called in air strikes against the enemy. Leaving his bunker\u2019s protection to rescue wounded Marines, he received his own wounds. For his heroism he was awarded the Silver Star and two Purple Heart Medals. As a combat wounded Marine, he was retired from the USMC in 1974. He never left the Marine Corps or the Marines he saved and honored. Richard Smith is survived by his wife Milan and by his 8 children and 9 grandchildren.\u00a0 Major R. L. Smith will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
