Silver Star Citation
Silver Star See more recipients of this award Awarded for actions during the Vietnam War The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Private First Class Thomas L. Foy (MCSN: 2277787), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as a Rifleman in the First Platoon, Company B, Battalion Landing Team 1/3, THIRD Marine Division (Rein.), FMF, during Operation BEAVER CAGE in Tinh Quang Nam Province, Republic of Vietnam, on 10 May 1967. Private Foy's squad was providing right-flank security for his platoon on a company search and destroy operation when heavy contact was made with two companies of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Regular forces. In order for his platoon to have time to deploy effectively, face the enemy, and extricate its casualties, Private First Class Foy courageously remained at his position, delivering effective fire through the hail of automatic weapons, small-arms, and mortar fire, causing many casualties and creating much confusion among the enemy. Mortally wounded during this action, Private First Class Foy, by his fearless conduct, courage and devotion to duty, served to inspire all who observed him and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country. Action Date: 10-May-67 Service: Marine Corps Rank: Private First Class Company: Company B Battalion: Battalion Landing Team 1/3 Division: 3d Marine Division (Rein.), FMF

Peace and condolence, to the family and friends. “He which hath no stomach, to this fight, let him depart. But we in it, shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother.” Rest in peace brave soldier, you have not been forgotten. (W.Shakespeare) May God Bless you, for your Sacrifice!!!

I had, the opportunity to visit, The Vietnam Memorial Wall. I was so overwhelmed, with sorrow and pain, that I could not hold, back the tears, for those heroes and their families, who lost so much. Though my visit, to the Wall was, a few years ago, I feel, that I left a piece, of my heart there. To honor those, who died in the Vietnam, War and to say thank you, I created a small tribute, to those heroes. Please click, on the link above, to view, my website.
