On behalf of the entire family of our late father, Capt. Richard Stratton, USN (ret.), thank you to the members of the Massachusetts Patriot Guard who braved the cold, snow, and wind to stand in silent tribute both outside Sacred Heart Church and at the internment ceremony at Mount Wollaston Cemetery in Quincy on February 1, 2025.
In the moment of their grief, those who mourn may not always remember to express their gratitude to those who have come to pay their respects, but please be assured that the honor is always a comfort.
