Richland Township memorial to be dedicated at veterans post Published: Saturday, July 31, 2010, 4:30 AMGus Burns | The Saginaw News RICHLAND TWP. — Relatives of four soldiers who died in the latest Middle East conflicts are attending the dedication of a new veterans memorial in Richland Township today, says Darlene D. Rose, 53, of Ingersoll Township. 
Courtesy The Battle Cross Memorial at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7302, 17595 Gratiot in Richland Township. The dedication begins at 2 p.m. and is expected to last an hour. Rose is the wife of Michael B., 55, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7302, 17595 Gratiot in Richland Township, where the memorial was erected July 2. Michael Rose was a child and remembers when the more-than 50-year-old hall was built by his father and other are veterans, Darlene Rose said. “The monument is called the Battle Cross and is a beautiful bronze sculpture containing the likeness of a soldier’s helmet, rifle and combat boots,” post leaders said. “It is an awesome sculpture.” It’s dedicated to four deceased soldiers, U.S. Army Spc. Richard A. Goward, 32, of Midland; U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Justin D. Reppuhn 20, of Hemlock; U.S. Army Sgt. Ralph N. Porras, 36, of Merrill; U.S. Army Pfc. Charles T. Heinlein Jr., 23, Hemlock. However, there are aspects of the memorial that are tributes to all veterans, Rose said, such as the etched words, Pacific and Atlantic, meant to pay tribute to veterans of World War II and the Korean wars; and the use of black granite “to honor the fallen of the Vietnam War and to say welcome home.” On the front of the north-facing benches, it reads: “All gave some, some gave all.” Speakers, a soloist, minister and color guard will participate in the dedication ceremony, Rose said.

Burial / Honorable Military Burial Captain Peterson Great Lakes National Cemetery 4200 Belford Road Holly, MI 48442 (248) 328.0386 Remembering Justin / Dave Colliver (high school friend ) I am extremely sad to have found this site as I knew Justin as a high school friend/soccer teammate. He was our soccer goalie my junior year his senior year. I looked up to Justin and I knew he was a leader and that is how he conducted himself on and off the field. Justin was a good man in high school and I always remember him with a smile and a laugh. I never was in touch with Justin after high school but I know he was a great Marine. He was the kind of person that makes me proud to be an American. It is with deep regret to have learned of Justin's passing. I just want to pass along my condolences to Justin's family and friends. I'm very sorry I am writing this so late. He will be missed. Dave
