THE WALL OF FACES

Your words in your letter to me 2 days before you were killed, as I left infantry nco school at fort benning, were "don't come here". At that time, you had three weeks left in the field. It hurts! Your death prevented me from going to Vietnam and I am so sorry for you!

Specialist Four Thomas Roy Grover, Served with Company D, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, 199th Infantry Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear Sp4 Thomas Grover,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Though I don't have any special connection to him, there currently is a school in honor to Thomas R Grover. There even is a day dedicated to him in the school and it is called Thomas Grover day. On that day many special things happen in honor of him.
