To Tad's family
Tad was my roomate while we were deployed in Basra. He made me laugh and he made us all laugh and that may be enough in war zone. Not a day goes by that I do not have at least one thought of Tad. I can not explain that so I simply accept it. He is not forgotten.

Barb and Family,
This may be years later, but I was thinking about Tad and found this memorial for him. I served with Tad in Basrah and we were going to get together when he got back. I heard about his death that morning. I continue to miss him and his huge smile. He always had good things to say and never a bad word. I know your hearts are heavy as this holiday season continues without Tad and Ned but know they are together in a far better place. I will always keep you all in my...

To the family of MAJ Tad Hervas: I've uploaded a picture of Tad receiving recognition from the First ROK Army Commanding General at the conclusion of Exercise KEY RESOLVE 2008. I only met Tad at that exercise, but worked closely with him each day for two weeks. He was a truly professional and gifted officer. I remember him today, on the anniversary of his passing. I was proud to have stood in this line with him
