Tommy Casey's family needs help. His name was unceremoniously chiseled of a monument for Vietnam casualties. The current head of veterans services for the city of Boston after very little research decided that Tommy didn't live in the city when he joined the Marine Corps. He then personally removed Tommy's name from the monument with a hammer and chisel. Tommy's family is heartbroken to say the least. Below is a link to the Boston Globe article which we are working on correcting. It's a sad state when our Veterans recieve treatment like this and in the city that will be hosting the annual meeting of the Medal of Honor Society next week.
