I Hope this gets to the family of Perry Richardson. Perry left me with some of his Marine Corp papers and pictures, in the hope that they would be given to his kids. I don't know what is being put on Perry Military head stone, but Perry was wounded in combat in vietnan on feb.11, 1968, and was awarded the Purple Heart Medal March 22, 1968.
