PFC MICHAEL GORDON TANDY
|
Mike Tandy and I (Mike Bradley) are cousins, but we are the same age (two weeks apart) and we grew up next door to each other. We both served in Vietnam, I with the Air Force and Mike with the Marines. I came home and Mike did not. Our family remembers Mike with love, and I remember him as a brother-in-arms as well. I carry you with me in my heart always and will never forget you.
Your Cousin, Mike
As long as we live

I grew up with Mike in Novato. He was a year older than I was. Recently, my son became a Marine. He is almost the same age that Mike was when he died. Sometimes, when I think of the dangers that might befall my son, I think of Mike. Always, when I think of the danger that befell Mike, I think of my son. I feel honored to have known Mike.
From a friend, |
I am Mike's little sister, Sarah. I've visited this site many times but with the changes taking place globally, this is truly the time to remember those who don't come home.
From his sister, |
As part of the recent 25th Anniversary of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (The Wall), a "Reading of the Names" took place. I was privileged to read your name Wednesday, November 7 at 11:18pm. As a Nation we owe you and your fallen comrades a great debt of gratitude. You are missed and will never be forgotten. May the good Lord bless you and keep you. Peace now and forever.
