SFC Thomas Lee Lewis, Korean War Veteran, Vietnam War Veteran, Native of Rockingham, North Carolina.
Sergeant First Class Thomas Lee Lewis was a casualty of the Vietnam War. As a member of the Army, SFC Lewis served our country until March 23rd, 1964 in Bu Phrang, South Vietnam. He was 33 years old and was not married. It was reported that Thomas died when he accidentally kicked a land mine. His body was recovered. Thomas was born on June 19th, 1930 in Rockingham, North Carolina. SFC Lewis is on panel 01E, line 047 of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. He served our country for 12 years.
I once saw a photo on a magazine cover of a family mourning the death of a Vietnam Veteran at his gravesite. In the photo, I could barely make out the date of death on the gravestone, and it looked like it was the day I was born. I was haunted by the thought that someone was giving their life in Vietnam on the day I was born, and it made me think more deeply about that sacrifice. I have realized the sacrifice much more in the years since because my husband has served more than 19 years in the military, and I've been worried about him many times. Now, I have found someone who did die that day. I do not know anything about SFC Lewis, except that he gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country on the day that I was born, and that means a lot to me. I would like to know more about him, and would welcome communicating with his family, friends or comrades. Karen Gill.
Great-niece: My Great-Uncle Thomas died well before I was born, but I grew up hearing about him and looking at his picture on our living room wall. As an Army wife, I now know some of how he lived. Thanks for your service Uncle Thomas. You have not been forgotten in our family! Jaimie Rachal, Fayetteville NC 28311, [email protected].
