honoring you......
There is a place
Not far from here
Where spirits walk
And heroes live
And honor still resides.
It is a wall
With names inscribed
Of those who served
When they were asked...
The brothers of my youth.
I go there still
To walk and think
About my life,
And what I've done since
And things that might have been.
There is a debt
I can't repay
Too many lives were spent.
And one man's life cannot suffice
To make their deaths worthwhile.
But there is hope
In the memory
Of those we leave behind
Who know the price that freedom brings
Who can carry on in kind.
I send you now
To touch a name
So the vision can be passed
Remember there is honor still
It is for you to see it lasts.
They are not dead
And have a wish
As all old soldiers do
The reflection you see before you now
Is their wish to live in you.

We Will Remember
I had the honor to say your name during the 40th anniversary commemoration of the Wall. May you rest in peace.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Thank You
Dear Sp4 Thomas Stanley, Thank you for your service as an Indirect Fire Infantryman. I researched you on the 54th anniversary of the start of your tour. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was the 47th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

A proud teacher of a outstanding student
It was my pleasure to be your marketing teacher at Culpeper High. Every day you showed up ready to learn. As an added treat for me was knowing that after lunch you headed to work at the A and P grocery and applied everything you learned in all your classes that day. Touching your nameplate at the Vietnam Memorial will always be a highlight in my life.
You gave your all to our country for which I will always be grateful. God bless you Thomas.
