“In loving memory of James H. Rice, Someone so special will not be forgotten. My friend since 1970 when we were young and Captains at USMA West Point NY. He served his country and the republic in difficult times when others failed to step up and do so. Always in my thoughts. Just thinking of Jim now brings a smile to my face, a good man and great friend.”
