02 Apr 2008 To my Dear Brother Tony. I miss you so much. You will never ever be forgotten. Thanks for bringing Tommy back to us. This is an excerpt from an interview with Bishop George Packard. On the platoon and the Wall: Nothing has diminished the bravery and the camaraderie of those friends. I know one of those guys is dead. Six or seven of them were dusted off. One guy lost an arm. One guy lost an eye. One kid had a lower bowel wound. A great melancholy sweeps over me because I know how painful it was, particularly losing Tony Firak. I had just left the platoon. I was leaving country. The platoon had this reputation of being very effective in battle, no casualties, or casualties that wouldn't harm. We even had a guy get dusted off, and he came back. Tony was pulling immediate action on an M-60, and those things aren't worth the powder and shot to blow them apart. He sat up, and he got it in the chest. He's on the Wall now. INTERVIEW: Bishop George Packard, February 14, 2003 ï¿ 1/2 2007 Educational Broadcasting Corporation Reproduced under 17 USC ï¿ 1/2 107 From his brother, Thomas Firak tomfirak@ameritech.net
