Rest in Peace my Good Buddy

I can't express in words how much I admired this patriot and the privilege it was in knowing Tom as a classmate and roommate (Senior year) in the A&M Corps of Cadets and later as a graduate student, husband, father and last of all a Marine hero. Tom was the Aggie's Aggie and the Marine's Marine. There was none finer. I will grieve for him until we meet in heaven. What a loss!

Never Forgotten

FOREVER REMEMBERED

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."

Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.

We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:

Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.

From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Texas A&M Memory

I knew Tom at Texas A&M where he was a yell-leader. He will always be young, robust and enthsiastic in my memory.
