This week, U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) honored Lieutenant General Richard “Dick” Seitz during a speech on the U.S. Senate Floor. Lt. Gen. Seitz was a highly decorated officer who selflessly served the United States through three wars and recently passed away.

“There is no group of individuals I hold in higher regard than our nation’s veterans, who have dedicated their lives to serving our country,” Sen. Moran said. “Dick was a mentor, friend and someone I greatly respected as a man, dedicated solider and American hero. He never stopped serving his country or his community, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to know him.

A Mass of the Resurrection will be held on Monday, July 22 at 9 a.m. at the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. Inurnment will follow with full military honors at Fort Riley Cemetery.
