Note: Lieutenant Kemp was laid to rest with his wife, Billie Rae Kemp.
I knew Dick Kemp for quite a while back when this website first began. While we had our differences over the years, I knew some things about him: He loved his wife; He loved his county; and he loved the United States Army. He now rests, and I hope and pray at peace, with his beloved Billie, and just down the hill from the Memorial Stone bearing the name of his World War II comrade, Willie Glenn Beckner. Dick helped to get Willie that stone and made sure it was placed near where Dick would spend eternity. Farewell good and faithful SOLDIER!. Michael Patterson.

Citation:
The Silver Star is presented to Lloyd R. Kemp (39420185), Technician Fifth Grade, U.S. Army, for gallantry in action against the enemy while serving with Company A, 80th Tank Battalion, 8th Armored Division, in Germany on 28 March 1945.
When his tank was disabled, Corporal (then Private First Class) Kemp escaped to the shelter of a nearby house.
Seeing his tank commander lying wounded beside the tank, Corporal Kemp left the security of his position and removed the wounded officer to shelter. He remained with him, completely surrounded by enemy, tending his wounds.
His heroism and devotion to duty reflect great credit on himself and the Armed Forces of the United States.
