Thomas G. Bostick Jr.

I served with Tom in Headquarters Company, 2/75 Ranger at Fort Lewis, WA and remember what an outstanding man he was. We have a text string of about 20 of us from that era. With today being Memorial Day 2024, this was sent: "In the sprit of Memorial Day, let´s celebrate Tom Bostick. He was one of the NCOs in the S2 shop when most everyone on this text chain was there. He left 2/75 to go to OCS, was a PL in 1/75, went onto serve in the Cav and was killed in Afghanistan it a pitched fight...

Rest in Peace my Ranger Buddy.

I had the great honor of knowing Tommy during his first AIT in 1988 at Ft. Huachuca, Az. Not the strongest, fastest, nor smartest, but he was definitely the best all-around soldier in our cycle. And everyone knew it. Our drill sgt. saw it right away, putting the extra pressure on Tommy to also be a leader. We became great friends, and there were others as well. We were all 18, and the academic rigors of our intel school (96B) made it tough on a bunch of raw young soldiers. But Tommy was...

Tom,

I just want to say that I will always remember you. I knew you a very long time, and this world is a much sadder place without you in it. You were a great friend, and an outstanding Ranger. The words cannot express how sad I am brother.

It was a honor serving under then Lt. Bostick in 3/75 Rangers. He was a tremendous soul who always brought smiles to us even in the most dier of situations. His relationship with SFC. Garganta was one I always looked at with envy. RIP Lt. Bostick....RLTW.

I love and miss you so much.
