Dear Tom,
I found this site by accident, upon reading up on the Wikileaks leak of Afghanistan documents and searching for pictures. It's so sad to see such a bright man pass for such a lousy cause. Let's not forget that there's no honest reason the U.S. should send their brave men to die in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Progress is little and goes to show that the rich and powerful don't give a damn about the men on the field. This is true for all conflict actors involved, the Taliban, the Pakistani army, the U.S. and U.K. military, the German military, etc. Men are dying, the citizens of the West are paying for it and the elite like Clinton, Obama and Bush are spending even more, are sending even more people to hell.
When are people going to wake up?! The facts are striking: The vast majority of the people of the West are against involvement in these wars. Let's act accordingly and demand that our troops be brought back immediately!

Tom, you were a brave man indeed, your soul be blessed. Now the burden of action is upon us to keep honest men from dying for the greedy and power mongering elite!

you are forever in my thoughts buddy

Thinking about you today.... there was a small Army / Air Force debate at the lake this weekend, and I immediately thought of you and Kenny. Miss you and thank you for your sacrifice, your family's and Erika's. Saying a special prayer for them today as well.... but I know you are watching over them, too.

Tom, we still miss you so much. We're so very proud of what you accomplished in your short life. I think of you often.
Love always, Aunt Janet

I found your website by accident and was reading avidly about all your time at West Point. Then I found the page that says you are KIA. Who could have known that such an enthusiastic and happy person could disappear so quickly. You sounded like a great guy and my heart goes out to your family. Thanks for your service.

Thank you for your service and for letting us share moments of your life.

I stumbled across your site when I was looking for pictures of the SOSH run at WP. My little bro is a cadet there currently and he has his SOSH run tomorrow. My mother was asking questions about what this run is for, so I googled it for her and found your pictures. Pretty awesome. Thanks for posting your stuff on the web, hope Ranger school treated you well!

I stumbled upon this website while looking for a day-by-day account of Ranger School to show to my girlfriend. I enjoyed reading all the entries as I am a 3-timer of Mountains Phase as well.

Hope all is well,

I found this page while looking for information on Ranger School. The entries were incredible, and I am at a loss for words upon learning of his passing. Through his journal entries he has had an impact on my life. Thank You.

I just stumbled upon this site searching for knots done in Ranger school. The journal brought back many memories. I laughed about the recycles because I was one. Then I read further and discovered the tragic loss. But I want to share with those who loved him that his spirit came through in his writings and my spirit is refreshed and renewed. I hope to meet someday some of those who knew him and loved him because I know he made them better people.
