Thomas was a Captain fixed wing pilot in the United States Army. He died in a crash on September 15, 1968. His name can be found on the Vietnam Memorial on West Panel 44, Line 62.
I remember him from track and around Kenmore West High School during out time there. He was a great guy and like many of those killed in Vietnam, is missed by those who knew him.
Tommy was a great spirited kid and fun to do record hops with in the early 60's. I often remember him and his wonderful family in Kenmore. I'm sure he rides on the wings of an angel and smiles upon us all. Rest In Peace.
Tommy Flanigan was a great guy who, even after these many years, I think about. Whenever I am in DC and go to the Viet Nam memorial, I go to his name.
We both were in Army ROTC, although at different colleges. When it came time for ROTC summer camp, we trained together on the Junior High fields behind his house and then drove to Ft. Devens, MA together. I didn't see him after that, but I was very sad when I heard he was killed. Even though I served in the Army, he is actually the only person I know who died there. I was lucky enough to avoid ever having to go there.
He left behind a wife and maybe a child. What a shame for our generation.

"T" and the "fudge factor" made physics class bearable. Great memories, great guy!
