Seven memories of Thomas P. McGee

“

I also had the honor of serving with SGT (Tommy) McGee in Kosovo. Actually the first time I met him in the dining facility I asked about his haircut because of how 'wild' he'd grown out the top; months later we reminisced about it and had a good laugh. Tommy would talk about his future law enforcement aspirations and life in the South Bay. I remember sitting in the Minneapolis, MN airport when Tommy's name appeared on the DoD casualty list. I couldn't speak and felt myself go numb because I knew it was him. His has been the most difficult OIF / OEF casualty for me to bear. To those around him, and strangers alike, he was always honest, kind, and generous: a young king; and taken from us all way too soon. I think of you frequently, Tommy. To his family: your son was one of the more decent young men I have met in quite some time. I know you remain proud of him. rsc
