Staff Sergeant Richard Crites
RICHMOND, Va. – With an assist from his favorite team, a Virginia native rejoined the world’s greatest team: the United States Armed Forces.
Saturday, following the team’s afternoon walkthrough at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center in Richmond, the Redskins hosted a swearing-in ceremony for lifelong Redskins fan Richard Crites. Staff Sergeant Crites, who grew up in Manassas and says the ‘Skins have always been a huge part of his life, chose to reenlist in the United States Air Force. He decided to make it official on Military Appreciation Day during Redskins training camp in Richmond.
