My father and mother were great friends of your parents. I met you only once, but I remember vividly how proud your family was that you were going to serve your country. I know you have been sorely missed by everyone whose life you touched. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice you made of your shining, young life. God rest you. Victoria Wilson, Bedford, PA 15522.

Sister of friend, Brian Campbell. You are remembered Tommy. I think of you often and remember what a great kid you were. My heart felt broken when you died. So did Brian's, and my mom and dad's. You were so handsome! I remember you being at my mom and dad's house on Duxbury Road, with Brian and a couple of other guys just before you shipped out. You all were talking about the war. It was the last time I ever saw you except when they brought you home. You will be forever young in my mind. Brian went home in July of 1998 - he had a hard time here on earth. I hope you and Brian catch up on things. I'll always think of you, Tommy. I know your family misses you so. Love, Bernice (Campbell) Hegarty (Brian's sister), Englewood, FL 34224, dhegbheg@msn.com.

Thinking of you. I was there when this fine young man died. I knew him we were in the same squad in the same platoon. I'll never forget that day. Only a couple weeks before I took his picture with his camera and he took mine for me. Any family member or friend is welcome to contact me.
