Reward Offered for Missing US Army Soldier
This person mysteriously vanished eight months ago.
El Paso hosted a rally at Album Park on Saturday on the disappearance of a Fort Bliss soldier. 21 year old Richard Halliday has been missing since July 24, 2020.
Fort Bliss and the El Paso community have searched for months with little trace of Halladay’s location.
Richard’s mother Patricia Halliday said, “Bring my son home, I miss him.”
A group of volunteers is holding a rally every week releasing red balloons in the air that say ‘please come back’ and ‘we miss you’ along with his mother’s phone number. They call this Operation Red Balloon.
Jennifer Sickles, the creator of Operation Red Balloon, said, “I still have hope. We still have hope that he’s out there, we’re hoping that he’ll come back, we’re hoping that someone will come forward and say ‘hey we know where he is.’”
The group has a Facebook page and encourage people to join the group. They provide updates on Richard as well as group events.
His unit conducted several searches around the unit area on Fort Bliss including the motor pools, barracks, installation fitness center, outdoor recreation centers, local hospitals, and jails.
