RICHMOND, Virginia (WRIC) – More than 9,000 burials are located in Richmond National Cemetery, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. With every tombstone comes a story.

James Israel King was 22 years old when he was killed in Vietnam. His only brother, older brother Wiley King, said he paid his respects to James several times a year, including every Memorial Day.

“I came to Richmond in 1963. He came in about ’64, was here for about six months, and joined the Marine Corps, and he was very happy about it, ”said Wiley. “I think it was Panama where he was supposed to go and then after he was there about three or four months, President [Lyndon B.] Johnson called and said he had to send 300 marines to Vietnam. He was the one in the group who went there, and he was there for about a year. About a month before he could come back, we lost him over there. “

He died on November 27, 1967, according to James’ tombstone in Richmond National Cemetery. Wiley said the King family never found out much about how James died.

“My mother, she was real, really sad; we’re all sad about it, ”said Wiley. “During that time the United States lost many young men there.”

According to the National Archives, the US military killed more than 58,000 people in the Vietnam War.

“I’m grateful to all of them, for all of you who have served,” said Wiley.

Wiley said his brother took pride in wearing the uniform and was enjoying the military training.

James was buried with other service members in Richmond National Cemetery more than five decades ago. When Wiley visits him, he says that he is usually silent.

“I really don’t talk much,” he said. “I think about what happened that time when we were growing up, you know that he really didn’t get a chance to see too much since he was so young.”

Wiley was without James for most of his life. Wiley said his only peace is knowing what James was fighting for.

“He did what he loved and it was good for humanity,” said Wiley. “It makes me feel a little better. But it still hurts. “

Most of the military personnel buried in Richmond National Cemetery died in Confederate prisons, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. These include 3,200 Union soldiers who were reburied from Oakwood Cemetery and another 388 from Hollywood Cemetery. The remains of 2,710 Union soldiers who were killed in local fighting are also buried in the eight-acre cemetery.

Rick Hendrick knew Kyle Larson was talented. After all, he’s seen Larson win NASCAR races (before signing him) as well as dirt racing around the country.

But now that Hendrick is in the front row of Larson’s success, the Hall of Fame team owner sees something familiar. After Larson dominated the Coca-Cola 600 to his second win of the season on Sunday night, Hendrick didn’t hesitate when asked if Larson’s driving style reminded him of anyone.

“Tim Richmond,” said Hendrick.

A star who never had a chance to shine in NASCAR, Richmond died of AIDS in August 1989. But in his short career, Richmond made sure every fan and driver knew he was there. Considered a larger-than-life character with a bright personality, Richmond won 13 races, nine of which drove for Hendrick.

Hendrick has always described Richmond as incredible car mastery. A quality Hendrick sees in Larson.

“(He’s going to) put a car in places you think it won’t drive and want to have fun and win, want to lead every lap,” said Hendrick. “He just reminds me a lot of Tim. All of our guys have unique talents, but he’s a racing driver.

“I’m looking at William [Byron] and how far William has come. William, he was there every single week. I think they’ll only get stronger together. But Kyle probably has more racing experience than the other guys. He drives everything there is to race and he says it makes him better. When you get in any car and drive on a track and win, when you have the guys who win all the races there, I think he made a statement about how talented he is. “

Hendrick already knew Larson was talented, but admitted he was surprised at how quickly Team # 5 put it all together. At Charlotte, a track that Larson had previously only led 20 laps, Larson swept all three stages, leading 327 of 400 laps.

Larson is the first driver to break the 1,000-lap mark (1,105) this season. He leads the series in the listed laps, 726 of them in the last five races. Larson also leads the series in stage wins (nine).

“He’s been through a lot and seeing him come here and run like that and make a statement and show his talent, I’m just excited that he just feels really good and has a really great vibe with him and Cliff [Daniels]”Said Hendrick. “I’m looking for a lot of victories for the rest of the year.”

Goochland Pet Lovers’ Good Neighbor Fund (GPL) has been renamed in memory of William E. Quarles, Jr., who served on the Goochland Pet Lovers board of directors. The new name and logo were unveiled on May 20th during a ceremony attended by family, friends and colleagues of the Quarles family.

Quarles has served Goochland County in many ways, including serving as an overseer, commissioner, school board member, and community volunteer. In everything he did, his top priority was to stand up for the members of the Goochland community. While on the board of Goochland Pet Lovers, he urged the organization to reach out to all areas of the county.

“William came up to me many times after a board meeting. He always asked how my family was doing since he worked with my father. Then we discussed ideas on how the GPL could help the citizens of Goochland. The Good Neighbor Fund does just that – it lends a helping hand – and there is no better person to name the fund after, ”said Sarah Marshall, board member of the GPL. “When the board thought about how to honor William, we immediately thought of the school system. The CTE students created the most beautiful plaque for us to present the new logo to the Quarles family. “

The Good Neighbor Fund was founded by Goochland Pet Lovers in September 2020 and launched in February 2021. The program empowers families and individuals by providing support and coordinating low-cost / free veterinary care so Goochland families can keep their pets healthy and in their homes.
