I am so grateful to everyone who has signed this petition for my father and especially those who did not know him but now know his story... Many of those who did know him believe that his actions on that day, Dec 7th one day before his 19th birthday, should have earned him the Medal of Honor for his heroism in combat, leaving the safety of headquarters to fight with the 8th Cav, saving lives while eliminating 21 enemy combat-ins, and the success of the mission. He then went on to complete another tour in Vietnam earning numerous medals including:

Purple Heart

Silver Star

Bronze Star

Air Medal

Vietnam Service Medal 

Vietnam Campaign Medal w/ 4 Clusters

Medal of Valor- Republic of Vietnam

He has no final resting place- please continue to help us Honor my father with the respect and distinction he deserves in Arlington- PLEASE share with friends and thank you all again!

Gratefully Tom's Son and Family
