You gave the ultimate sacrifice to your country. For that, I will be forever grateful. You will never be forgotten and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you or your wife. I pray for your family everyday. Until we meet again... "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see!"

May we never forget the sacrifice and love for something that we enjoy everyday. Thank you Ricky and Nelson family.

May God's peace rest upon the Nelson family. May Ricky live on in our hearts and our thoughts.

Thank you Ricky for serving your country. I only knew of you by Dave at our first GLC team meeting through Kristen. God Bless America, and I am so proud of you and your sacrifice for this great nation. I can't wait to meet you in heaven.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. We will never forget this day and the impact it had on so many. To the Nelsons, we love you and you are in our thoughts and prayers on the year anniversary of this day! Love, The Larsons

I'm so thankful for all that you have done. I never knew you, but I'm grateful for you. God bless all the Nelson's.

Ricky and family. Thank you for your sacrifice!! Thanks to all of the brave men and women and their families that make daily sacrifices so that we might have and enjoy our freedom!

Although you and I have never met, it's hard to believe that a year has gone by already. Never a day has gone by that I don't think of you. Thank you for your sacrifice for our country. I am looking forward to the day that we will meet! May you and God continue to watch over us at GLC as we continue to grow. Thinking of you always!

One Year later- I truly believe you would be amazed at the truly Amazing things God has done thru your Sacrafice. Nothing is Greater than a man whom lays down his life for his Family, Friends and his Country. I really Believe you would be SO PROUD of your Family and the Memories that each one holds of you will be Priceless FOREVER! We all look forward to the Day we can Personally Thank you!

I never had the honor or priviledge to meet Ricky but he leaves a powerful legacy through the testimony and impact he had on his family and friends.
