R.I.P Thomas, aka Philly Boy. He passed fighting for our country to defend the rights of the Free People all over the world. You will be missed my friend.
Dec 13th 2007
As the light faded from your eyes,
I can only imagine what you saw
Surrounded by a Band of Brothers
But in this, there was a tiny flaw.
Home, So very far away
Friends and Family in a distant land
Knowing that they might arrive
A Soldier will come knocking, Flag in hand
That day has just arrived
Parents bravely sit through the news
Knowing you fought for your beliefs
Protecting the rights of others, and their points of view
You're a guiding light for this Country
The sacrifice you made is one I will never overlook
The blood you spilled defending us
For that, you're a Hero, on of many in my book
I wish people could just look and see
That people like you, and friends before
Went willingly for us, this country
Always wishing they could give us more.
I Salute you in a final Goodbye
Knowing that God holds you close to his chest
And all the Brave Soldiers from days gone by
But you, Young Marine, were the Best of the Best.
