Elizabeth, this is Yu-Jin, your brother's best friend. Sorry for what happened to Tom... my life is a candle without a fire now; I have no mean of life without my closest friend. We got into the same camp and went to the same school from the point we were in Elementary. I had Tom next to me when everybody was against me; even my parents. Tom was a lad I could depend on and talk about anything and he will take it and talk it through with me all day long, even if he had a very important project to do in high school; he always put his friendship before anything else. Before we were separated in War, he told me to survive and later meet together and go back and make a company together. He had lots of brilliant ideas. His bravery shown in training was immense. We had a training session and there was a fake hand grenade, your brother was right next to it, instead of running away he jumped on it to save the other soldiers. After this, he became a commander of troop C. Tom did everything as a commander and cared his soldiers more than anything. Tom and his troops were called to participate in the Battle of Long Dinh. Tom had the choice to reject the call but he decided to go. He went and the next day the soldiers came back; but Tom was missing. I asked one of the troop members, but all they did was cry. I asked the soldier again with anger and he told me that Tom died after taking a bullet for him. This is what I didn't like about your brother, he cared more about his men than himself. Stupid Bastard.... ㅡ ㅡ . I will go to Tom's funeral very soon. Elizabeth, I'm truly sorry for Tom's loss.
Sincerely Yu-Jin
