Never Forgotten
Tom; We were best friends in high school and I remember our many good laughs, especially in Mr. Berg's typing class. Seems like you, me and Doug were always getting trouble for talking and creating our bit of mayhem and how he passed us is still a mystery. I wish you were still here as our 50th high school reunion is coming up in 2 years and I sure would like to share old times and memories. Doug passed away from Agent Orange 10 years ago and he is also sorely missed. You and 58,000 other brave men and women died way too young. You gave the ultimate sacrifice for your comrades in arms and for our great country. I look up your name when I see the Wall and break down in tears every time. I miss you good friend.

Photo remembrance of Thomas James Kordosky
This photo is Tom’s 1968 senior class picture from St. Paul Johnson High School. The picture was provided by Herb Reckinger Jr. of Cottage Grove, Minnesota. Thank you Herb!
Tom, it is with great humility, pride and honor that Herb and I post this remembrance for you and upload your photo so that your memory and the sacrifice you made for your country will never be forgotten and to ensure your photo will be displayed on your birthday each and every year when the Education Center is completed. You are not forgotten and remain in the hearts of many after all these years. Thank you Tom for being who you were and for all you did. We live in freedom to this day thanks to heroes like you that answered the call to duty.
You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Tom.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear PFC Thomas James Kordosky, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, Sir
Curt Carter

Do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Mary Frye – 1932
