THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lcpl Thomas McElynn, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Time passes quickly, but our world needs help. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I was a friend and neighbor of Tommy. He and 2 other friends (Walter and Mike) gave their lives in Nam for us. I was one of the "lucky" ones to make it back from Nam. I still wear Tom's KIA bracelet to this day. I will Never Forget.

I looked For Thomas' name on the wall in DC, but not until the moving wall came to Oswego, IL, did I finally find it. It's been a very long time since Laurelton, going to school with his brother, Jimmy, at St. Mary Magdalene. Will never forget the love and service he gave his country and thank him and all who served and still serve their country. God Bless all and Tommy's family.

We went to the same grammar school and hung out in the neighborhood. He was kind, friendly and just a nice guy.He was one of three of my marine friends who all grew up together, Walter Roseolie, Mickey Walsh my best friend and Tommy. All USMC and all KIA in just a little more than a year. They were the best.
