Nineteen years ago today, he made the ultimate sacrifice. We remember his smile, his humor, his love for his family, his dedication to his men, and his love for his country. Time moves forward. Forever 27. Forever our Tom.

Tom’s sister Becky and her fiancé Robert were in Chicago this weekend. Becky trained for months, raised money for Charity Team USO, then spent Tom’s 46th birthday weekend conquering her first marathon. It was a long, hard, “NEVER QUIT” kinda day, but SHE DID IT. Days like this are what NEVER QUIT has always been about.

💙⭐ Happy Heavenly Birthday🇺🇸

Today, we imagine the laughter we’d be sharing, the memories we’d be making, and the love we’d still be giving. Oh, how we wish we could celebrate another birthday with you!

You would be 46 today, but in our hearts, you will forever be 27. Time marches on, but our love for you never fades.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Soldier! 🇺🇸

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever our Tom. ⭐

Today, the 1LT Tom Martin Memorial Foundation honors Gold Star Mothers and Families.

Gold Star Mother’s Day was established by Congress in 1936. Today, the honor has been broadened to include all the family -- the fathers, spouses, children, and siblings whose loved ones made the ultimate sacrifice while defending our nation on the battlefield.

We remember their loved ones by name. We remember our Tom. We honor the families who carry their memories every day.

On September 11, 2001, Tom Martin was a Plebe at the United States Military Academy at West Point. His class would become known as the “9/11 Class” upon their graduation on 28 May 2005. They are the generation whose path of service was forever shaped by that day in September of 2001.

On 14 October 2007, 1LT Tom Martin, the namesake of the 1LT Tom Martin Memorial Foundation, was killed in Iraq while serving our nation. He had just turned 27.

Today, we remember September 11. We remember those we lost. We remember those who answered the call to serve. And we remember Tom.

To everyone who supports the 1LT Tom Martin Memorial Foundation and helps carry Tom’s legacy forward, we remember together.

🇺🇸 We will never forget.

National Purple Heart Day was observed on Friday, August 7, 2026. This day honors U.S. service members who have been wounded or killed in combat while serving in the military. Remembering Tom and so many others. Especially today.

This week, the colors of the 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry Regiment were cased, a moment that carries deep and complicated emotions for our family.

Tom served with the 1/40 Cav. It was his unit, his Army family, and the unit he deployed to Iraq with, standing shoulder to shoulder with his brothers in arms.

As a military family, we understand. Colors may be cased. Units may change. Missions may end. Time continues its relentless march forward.

These colors represent the Soldiers Tom served beside, the bonds forged in training and strengthened in combat, and the sacrifices that forever changed so many families. Woven into their history is a part of our son’s story, his service, and his legacy.

For so many, the 1/40 Cav was never simply a set of numbers. It was a brotherhood, a family, and a way of life. We will always be grateful for the remarkable Soldiers who served beside Tom and became forever connected through service and sacrifice.

We will always wear a memorial bracelet bearing the words:

1LT Thomas M. Martinn1/40 CAV

To us, those words are inseparable. Tom and the 1/40. His name and his unit. His service and their shared history.

The colors may now be cased, but the friendships, memories, courage, sacrifice, and legacy they represent remain.

The 1/40 Cav will always be part of Tom’s story.

And 1LT Thomas Michael Martin will always be part of theirs. 🇺🇸
