Dear Tom:

We graduated in 1965. Our Lady of the Valley. We were nuts, but you were special. God bless you always.

Peace,

Jeez my friend, almost 35 years ago, that you saved me that day. It was supposed to be me and I am grateful for you always. Always. As we said Thomas, IN GOD. ALWAYS IN GOD. Peace man Thomas. Say GOD into LIFE.

Hello Uncle Thomas. I wish we had a chance to meet each other ... but I was born about 2 years after you were taken away. You are my Mother's BIG brother, and she misses you every day ... I miss you too, even though I never met you. I feel like I know you. You are very much a part of our lives.

Love from your niece -
Liz

Hey Uncle Thomas,
I wish I could have had the chance to meet you. My dad, Christopher, said you were the nicest guy ever. I really wish I could have met you and could spend some time with you.

Love,
Audrey

Uncle Tom... I never had the fortune to meet you, but have always heard great things. Son of your brother Michael, I wear your name as my middle name in honor of your life. I will see you on the other side.

With Love,
Nicky

A Note from The Virtual Wall

On 06 Feb 1968 the 1/26 Marines were engaged in bitter fighting at Khe Sanh, where the Tet Offensive had started early. Even so, on one of the bloodiest days for US forces in Vietnam - 134 men lost in combat - 1/26 lost only two men:
  • Cpl Thomas A. Meade, Orange, NJ, Delta 1/26, and
  • LCpl Thomas E. Corley, Cleveland, OH, Charlie 1/26.
