Thomas Michael Martin

West Point, 2005

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by MAJ Mike McKay on October 25, 2007:

I had the privelage of coaching Tom when he played for the rugby team. There are certain people who, through their spirit, honesty, humor, and commitment, touch you in a special way. Tom was one of those people for me, and clearly to all of those lucky enough to know him.

I remember when Tom told me that he couldn't continue to play rugby because he had to focus on his studies. He did so with a tear in his eye and obviously a heavy heart, thinking that he was letting the team down. Little did he know that I couldn't have been more proud of him. This is just a small testament to the wonderful character of this man.

I am deeply saddened for Tom's family and friends. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
