Thomas Alexander Becker, 1969, Our Fallen Brother
Tom Becker was a great young man that everyone really liked. He never fussed and he was always ready to help. He had this contagious smile that always made me feel warm. On the night of
March 6th Tom went out with his squad on a dangerous rescue mission to save an ambush patrol that was in serious trouble. Tom selflessly gave his
life to defend freedom that night. We morn the loss of our hero, he was our brother and we shall never forget his sacrifice. His ultimate sacrifice truely
eptimizes the moto of the Triple Deuce, "Deeds, not Words".
Tom Becker died a hero. We are grateful to Tom's Family for providing these pictures via Diane his sister.
THOMAS A BECKER is on the Vietnam Memorial Wall at Panel 30W Line 051
