Mr. and Mrs. Caughman,
admire his courage from listening to your stories of
I will never forget your son and his service to our country. I never knew him personally, but grew to your fallen soldier and how the Lexington community adored him.

Just know that my family will be thinking about Thomas and you today.
Happy Memorial Day!
