Good Guy - Richard Simms, Dallas, Texas

Fort Worth Texas-

4-21-2008

Richard Don Simms in Fort Worth Texas is definitely one of the Good Guys.   Every Thursday since 2005 he takes his banjo,  goes to the airport, and spends the day  playing for the deploying troops.    On the way he picks up Cinnamon rolls donated by other Good Guys -- Ginger Brown's Restaurant (Lake Worth) and Pat Craus (Tarrant County) -- and passes them out to the troops.  He gives the soldiers the cinnamon rolls and sits around and chats with them and tells them how grateful we all are for them.

Richard has been playing the banjo for 52 years! 

Any pictures or video sent will be added to the post.

Thank you Richard for looking out for those who look out for all of us!

Someone who knows Richard sent the following in:  What you may not know.  Richard's father died with 800 other sailors in a WWII bomb attack on the USS Franklin. It was near the end of the war. The story of the attack and the ship's survival is told (video) on my Navy Ship's website at www.ussocallahan.org.  Father O'Callahan was awarded the medal of honor for his actions that day aboard the Franklin.  . . .  I love what your organization is doing. ~~ Vic
