Two things...

[rev_wayfarer]

1. My parents are finally moving out of the ATL. Which is great for them...which makes me really happy. I'm a little worried that since my stuff is in storage on their property (I closed out my apartment lease when I first deployed) and they have my cat, and my truck, that things could get difficult when i get home

Thank for this link. We were able to find out that his humv fill in a canal. He was killed instantly. No further information can or will be released at this moment since the Army is still investigating. As for when services will be held, we are still waiting for to Thomas to arrive. Whether it'll be open casket or not, we won't know until he gets here. Thank you for all your prayers.

Miss Tom Already

I was one of Thomas Stricklands best childhood friends, we had grown up together since third grade, as college time approached we grew apart, I regret this. After Paul, his brother, told me about his journals I see that he was the same Thomas he was a few years ago, his ideals and theologies are reflected well through his works. Thomas you will not be Forgotten.
