"Richard is a thoroughly knowledgeable person in the planning and execution of modern warfare. Specifically, he has the grit to dig below the surface of history. His efforts reveal the true, bumpy nature of history as experienced by the American fighting man. His opinions are well thought out and he considers all sides of an equation before he speaks. I trust him and consider him a fellow warrior."

"In the late 80's, I served under Richard Killblane as my Company Commander for Alpha Co 2/9 Infantry Regiment in Fort Ord, CA. Richard is highly regarded for his professionalism, knowledge in military tactics, and strong discipline. I would serve with him again without any hesitation."
