“Your Little Green Friends“
One of my dearest friends from over thirty-five years ago was a gentleman by the name of Cliff Russell. Cliff is dead now. At that time he was the Father in a loving spirit that my real Father never was, between his drunken whisky binges. One day while in my thirties I related to him my disappointment with an individual that I thought was a friend.
Cliff had an easy way about him when he was offering advice. It was that “home-grown” attitude from being born and raised in Louisiana. He related, “Johnny, let me show you, what your best friends in life look like.” Slowly he withdrew from his pocket a roll of hundred dollar bills. As the saying goes, “The roll was big enough to choke a horse.”
Cliff went on to say, “This is your Little Green Friends. They will keep you warm when you are cold, cool when you are hot, and will buy you all the company, you will ever want, when you are lonely.” To this day I have never forgotten one of the loving lessons given to me in my life from a dear, now departed friend.

John J. Rigo’s name on the Veterans War Memorial in Mabank, Texas
John J. Rigo’s name on Veterans War Memorial in Mabank, Texas
As a senior, I know there is not unlimited time in my life to be in this world. I believe we all want to leave some part of us in the world. Something beside a tomb stone in a forgotten grave yard some place. Perhaps the kind of grave yard where the tomb stone lays flat on the ground. A place where machines run across huge expanses of tomb stones while mowing.
I am proud to say, there is a place marked for me. It is a memorial of beauty in an East Texas town of Mabank, Texas. The memorial is a salute to perhaps, some of the happinest days of my life. It was my four years of active duty in the Air Force. Knowing that this place exists where my name is among those who have served our country with honor, brings me a truly wonderful peace.
