The originals of the pictures below were sent to me (Mary Pierce) by Al McGinley. 
Al posted the following message on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall Page:

"I took your picture the afternoon you died. As you came off the hill, you said, 
"Take a picture of a combat Marine. It may be your last chance." And it was. 
I've been looking for a personal page for you since the wall came on line."

 Using the technology of the internet I was able to find Al McGinley and get these pictures as well as some details of Tom's life in Vietnam especially details of the day he died and the circumstances under which he was killed. Mr. McGinley has cherished these pictures for 36 years and I am honored that he has chosen to entrust them into my care. I have posted them here so that our family may be blessed by them and the knowledge that he was a cherished friend and is still very much missed.
