Remembering Days Past
Served with Tom at Marine Corps Air Station El Tore - Radio Relay Platoon - we were FMF Troops among all those airdales. Tom was a nice kid that I didn't take the time to know better - now he is gone and I will never get to know him at all - I have learned my lesson and take the time now to know the people that cross my path.
This Memorial Day I will ask God to Save the Souls of Marines past, and Protect the Souls of Marines serving today

Peace and condolence, to the family and friends. "He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother”. Rest in peace brave soldier, you have not been forgotten. (W.Shakespeare) May God Bless You for your Sacrifice!!!

Well done Marine rest in peace
THE TIME you won your town the race We chaired you through the market-place Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high. To-day, the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose. Eyes the shady night has shut Cannot see the record cut, And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears: Now you will not swell the rout Of lads that wore their honours out, Runners whom renown outran And the name died before the man. So set, before its echoes fade, The fleet foot on the sill of shade, And hold to the low lintel up The still-defended challenge-cup. And round that early-laurelled head Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead, And find unwithered on its curls The garland briefer than a girl’s. A.E. Housman, "Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mine.

I only met Tom for about one hour. (I kidded him about sharing the same name as the Colt football player). He replaced my Radio Relay Team on hill 10. And died in an ammo box bunker that I and two other guys had finished building only a few days before.
Have long felt guilty about that. Often thought about communicating with him or family. Never did. I have seen Steve's email's and would like to visit.
I would gladly welcome correspondence with anyone who knew Tom.
