Two generations of Marines ---One Bedroom
I write this from one Marine to another. Tom, my name is Russ Thomas Trudel, and my mother Debby was paired up to be your graduation line partner at Lewis Mills. Years later my parents bought your family home on Stone Road in Burlington, CT off of your parents, and we moved in when I was eight years old. My bedroom was your old room. I grew up drawing monsters and military guys and tanks etc., and when we began remodeling the house we found drawings in the attic that you drew of the exact same things. I grew up playing in the same woods and sleeping out in the old Ham radio shed that was your dad's, and always felt like somehow you were there. After highschool, I decided to join the Marine Corps myself, and while stationed at Camp Lejeune, I made a couple trips to Washington DC to visit another Marine Buddy of mine. While there, I visited the Vietnam Memorial Wall and made a rubbing of your name. Even though I did not know you personally, I always felt like I knew you from growing up in the same place, and have honored and will continue to honor your memory for years to come as a Marine brother. Semper Fidelis Tommy!!! OOrah Marine!!! You will never be forgotten!!!
