Tom's mother and my father were cousins. I was very young when Tom was
killed (5), but I can vividly remember going to his funeral and listening to
how proud his parents were of him despite their grief. I vaguely recall
meeting Tom as a child but I am proud to tell people that I had a cousin who
served in Vietnam and I know his entire family remain proud of him to this day.
With all respect
