Thomas,
You are one of 343 good and decent men who are heroes not for the way they died, but for the way they lived. Selfless, brave, generous, courageous are only a few words to describe you and your brothers. You are brave not because you did not feel fear, but because you were willing to fight fear with courage. As hard as it is to know you are never coming home, I know that you died for a reason and I know you are up in heaven watching over us. You were an angel on earth, and now you are an angel in heaven- my angel. I will live the rest of my life for you and your brothers and I promise I will never let anyone forget. I love you and I'm so proud of you.
