Thomas F. Lyons

GRANDPA...
I REALIZE THAT I DID NOT GET TO KNOW YOU AS WELL AS WE WOULD HAVE LIKED. I THINK THAT YOU AND I NEVER REALLY GOT A CHANCE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK, I WAS UNABLE TO LEARN THE AMAZING EVENTS THAT TRANSPIRED IN YOUR TIME ON EARTH. I WAS BLOWN AWAY TO HEAR THAT YOU RECIEVED THE SILVER STAR FOR SERVICE RENDERED IN THE USMC THAT IS HONORABLE AWARD. THE BEST MEMORIES I HAVE OF YOU WERE WHEN YOU CAUGHT ME SNEAKING DOG BONES TO KING AND FUZZY. AND RUMAGING THROUGH GRANDMAS CRAZY COLLECTION...

Mr. Lyons,
Sir, I didn't know you but as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC in the Korean War with A/1/1 lst Marine Division with "Chesty" Puller. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines at places like Inchon, Seoul and the "Frozen" Chosin Reservoir that all of us Marines who have followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and...

Semper Fi Marine Lyons.
The Dept. of Ma. Marine Corp League thanks you for your service to God, our Country, and to our beloved Corps.
To Thomas's family we send our sympathies and our prayers on your loss and the loss of our Brother. Tom served with Valor, Honor and Courage here on Earth and he will now take his place with our Supreme Commandant where he once more will serve Chesty. His earthly life has come to an end but his spirit will live forever. May God bless you and be with you...

Dear family:
We are friends of Frances Sahlbach and wanted to take this opportunity to express our condolences to all of you. We know that your Dad was a very strong person and we are glad that his pain is now over. Our prayers are with you.
