In Remembrance of PFC Thomas J. Pool

I served along side PFC Pool. We were in Alpha Company First Battalion Fifth Marines, First Marine Division. A - 1/5

We pretty much called each other by our last names back then

Tommy, as you called him , was always friendly and I never heard him say anything bad about anyone

We were all about 18 or 19 years of age at the time . The Battalion moved down to Chu Lai from the Da Nang area in the Central Highlands.

We were constantly in a combat zone moving from hill to hill

I called his parents in Texas to tell them how we liked Tommy and how it was a shame for him to lose his life in combat when I returned from Vietnam, but they were too upset to talk to me and hung up the phone. At least I tried to make contact with someone with the immediate family.

Every time I visit Washington D.C, I travel to the Vietnam Wall and look for Tommy's name and say a prayer

If , by chance , there is a family member who might read this post, please know that PFC Pool was an outstanding person, a great Marine, and will be missed.

I'll make an effort to go through my photos to see if I have any of Tommy and will try to post them to this web site..

At least I'll try.
