Thomas Alexander Becker, 1969, Our Fallen Brother
Tom Becker was a great young man that everyone really liked. He never fussed and he was always ready to help. He had this contagious smile that always made me feel warm. He always smiled that happy, confident smile, it is one of the reasons we liked him so much. It didn't matter what was going on, Tom was always happy and it was contagious.
The pictures were provided to us by Dianne Pierce, his loving sister. Diane, we are proud of your brother, he truely reflects our motto, "Deeds, Not Words".
On the night of
March 6th Tom went out with his squad on a dangerous rescue mission to save an ambush patrol that was in serious trouble. Tom selflessly gave his
life to defend freedom that night. We morn the loss of our hero, he was our brother and we shall never forget his sacrifice. His ultimate sacrifice truely
epitomizes the moto of the Triple Deuce, "Deeds, not Words".
Tom Becker died a hero. We are grateful to Tom's Family for providing these pictures via Diane his sister.
THOMAS A BECKER is on the Vietnam Memorial Wall at Panel 30W Line 051
