Staff Sgt. Michael D. Thomas

I just recently found out about Michael´s death. Although I hadn´t spoken to him in decades I remember him so fondly. My three daughters used to call him their big brother when he and I served together in the 978th Military Police Company. Life just got in the way of keeping in touch. I pray for Teresa who I also knew back in El Paso. I pray for his children that I never met and his grandchildren. God bless his gentle soul. He was the best soldier I ever knew.

Hey Uncle Mikey, it´s Adalyn <3 I may not have had enough time to meet you but I think about you mostly every day. I look up to you so much! Meme tells me so much about you and how you loved Metallica and shows me pictures of your super cool guitars. I just redid one all by myself, I think you´d be super proud! I´m going to a few rock concerts this year and I´m gunna be a Junior! I love you a lot, and I know Michael and Mac Mac and my momma and meme and aunt Cassie do too. Love, your niece...

I knew Michael through a mutual foundness of collecting Bucs game used memorabilia. Was thinking of Michael today, he was a good man and was grateful to have known him.

Hey dad...you're with us all the time...it's truly amazing how your love shines even through death. There's not a day that goes by that I don't wish things would have all been different. My brother needs you...I need you...mom needs you...even your grandbabies ask about you. You see how they're growing?! And your new baby baby girl Autumn...when I see my bubby with her I see you how you were with Alexis. I am so lucky to have those memories at least. You're forever in our broken hearts. Our...
