Rick spent the last 9 years as the Sports Editor for the Fort Belvoir Eagle. He loved the soldiers and their families and took a great deal of pride in his participation within the Army community; from watching the soldiers compete and learning and reporting their stories, to watching the families’ children grow over the years through their respective teams, the relationships built with staff… he always took joy in cheering for the Bulldogs. He had a special place in his heart for the Wounded Warriors and carried their stories with him always.

On Saturday, over 100 people came together in front of the old Manassas Courthouse to peacefully protest Governor Ralph Northam’s stay-at-home orders. Small business owners, elected officials, candidates seeking elected office, pastors, and community activists all spoke and called for the coronavirus restrictions — now largely affecting only Northern Virginia — to be lifted.
U.S. flags, political signs, and stickers could be seen all around the courthouse grounds as the protesters clapped and cheered. The protest was organized by two Prince William County residents Christopher Lee and Zack McDonald. Lee, an engineer, and McDonald, a physical therapist organized the rally to engage people on the governor’s stay-at-home order, extended in Prince William County and Manassas until at least Friday, May 29.
