I still miss you and think about you daily. You will never be forgotten.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Broomhead Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to troops in Afghanistan this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Thomas F. Broomhead US Army Sergeant. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,

To the family and friends of Sgt. Thomas F. Broomhead:
It has truly been my honor to sign Thomas' guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Thomas will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

Thomas, i always looked up to you. We were about the same rank together in Eagle Troop but i looked up to you because you were a good solid, steady man and a great soldier. Kelli, we met once, i helped you move into your house down in Widefield/Security area, with Sears and Armstrong and a few other guys, i wish i could tell you in person but im sure you know what kind of man you married, the best kind!

Still thinking of you and honoring your memory all these years later.

Still missing you Tom. Never forget. May God bless your soul and may God be with all your family.

Thinking of you, Tom. Thank you for my freedoms.

My family and I can't thank Tom and all The Fallen Soldiers enough for making the ultimate sacrifice ,Thank God we have heroes like Tom who make it possible for us to live in this land of Freedom.

7 years brother. I miss you, and love you watch over our brothers still in harms way untill they are home with me or home with you. Brave Rifles!

I have the great privelege and honor of knowing Mike, Tom's brother. There isn't a day that goes by that Mike doesn't talk of his brother. One of the greatest casualties is to be forgotten, and Tom will never be forgotten, as Mike is making sure. Sadly, Mike and I have this in common. To Tom's Mom, I know how hard it is to bury your boy. I understand the emptiness that follows. Please know my heart is with you and your family as the anniversary of Tom's death approaches.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Thomas, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Please contact me and I will email you back a copy of my
Angel and soldier drawing I have shared here.

I don't pretend to know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Thank you for giving the greatest gift anyone could possibly give to all of us. You gave your life for the freedom so many of us take for granted. My family will forever be blessed by your gift.

Thank you to those who will always love and carry you in their hearts. There are no words that will express our sincere gratitude. God bless you and may His strength always be with you.

On the anniversary of the loss of this Fine Colorado Soldier, I would like once again to pay tribute to Sgt. Thomas F. Broomhead, with so much gratitude for his Courage and his Many Years of Service and Dedication, to our Country and for Freedom.
Rest Safely in the Hands of God Young Hero and may the Peace of God continue to be with your family.

Sgt. Thomas F. Broomhead
you are my hero
may god keep you in his arms forever.

On searching the web just stunned to find that a fine family have sustained such a loss. Sincere sympathies from across the Atlantic. I am aware that many of our family emigrated from the UK to USA in the 19th Century.Time flies but the sensation of loss is not diminished! Nic Broomhead.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Broomhead family in the loss of Thomas. I did not know Thomas, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. Thomas it has been over 3 years since you were taken please know that you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace
Tom

Thomas, rest in peace. Never forgotten.

The price this Young Soldier and his family paid for this country will never be forgotten... Rest well in the arms of our Precious Lord. And may God's comfort and blessings be with Sgt Broomhead's family.

I am the sister of such a young hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago.

We miss you Sgt. Broomhead, you were my gunner and a friend. You reminded me of what I really joined the army for, friendship and camaraderie. Your leadership follows me in every aspect of my life. God Bless You
