On October 16, 1965, prior to the football game that Saturday afternoon, the RGHS football field was dedicated as Meyerkord Memorial Field in honor of Harold Dale Meyerkord, a 1955 graduate and the first Riverview student (and one of the first U.S. Naval Officers) to die in the Vietnam War.  He was killed in a river assualt action in the Mekong Delta on March 16, 1965. Our own classmate, Tom Goszewski, a U.S. Marine, died of his wounds in South Vietnam on November 27, 1970. In all, ten Riverview students died in Vietnam. Their names are displayed on a Memorial installed at Meyerkord Memorial Field. 

Rubbing of Harold D Meyerkord's name at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial

on Panel 1E Line 96, 

by Don Hutchison on July 8, 2021

 

Don Hutchison and his wife, Joan, visited The Wall on July 8, 2021, during their great adventure circumnavigating The Great American Loop. Harold D Meyerkord's name is shown on Panel 1E, the panel in the center marked 1959 that contains the names of those earliest declared dead or status unknown (usually missing in action) during the war. His name can be found in Line 96. In the photo below (to the right), you can see Don's reflection in the panel as he takes the picture. Dale Meyerkord's name appears close to the top of Don's shoe on the left in the reflection. Don wrote about his experience viewing The Wall:

 

 

The memorial was quite moving for me. Finding Dale's name while standing alongside other people searching was a solemn experience, quiet, yet we could hear sniffles and see tears being wiped away. We hadn't lost a loved one but a person from a family in my hometown. Their floral business served all our HS formal activities, proms & dances where corsages and boutonnieres were customary. Then there were the weddings and their attention to detail and personal service which gave us that special hometown Riverview feeling that we took for granted until now, looking back in appreciation. Dale served his country and gave his life for it. We should remember that his sacrifice is the high price of freedom this country and every American enjoys. God Bless America.
