THE WALL OF FACES

Specialist Four Thomas Alan Berg, Served with the 357th Transportation Company, 520th Transportation Battalion, 34th General Support Group.

It's been over 46 years since that rocket hit your tent, and not mine right next to yours, and the "why not me" feeling never goes away. We arrived in country about the same time and had the same job. I hope you and your family found peace.

I think of you often. On this Memorial Day I decided to look
you up and still wonder why God chose to spare me and take you home. I'll see you in heaven

Thank you for service during a very hard time to ensure the freedoms that our people of this country still cherish!!! Went to Richfield High School with you, but did not know you very well unfortunately - Your ultimate sacrifice will forever be remembered!!!! Bob Victor Battery A 4/57 Arty

This is a 1966 senior year picture of Thomas at the Richfield Murray High School. The photo 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.
