United States Marine Corps USMC Special Operations USMC Scout Sniper Association Marine Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation Today we Remember the life of SGT Tom Spitzer. “Sergeant Thomas Z. Spitzer was a PIG with 1/7 Scout Sniper Platoon when he was killed in action in Helmand Afghanistan on June 25, 2014. He was due to be married to his fiancée shortly after the deployment. He was a great man, a true friend, and so selfless that he was always the first to volunteer when something needed to be done no matter how tired he was. I’m honored to have known him. On a training mission in 29 Palms we were hiking up an insanely steep ridge on the mountain side just after our insert. He was the point man and I was right behind him carrying the SASR. Everyone knows the point man has the lightest pack, and mine was definitely not. As we reached a false summit with so much more to go, he turned around and looked at me and said “lets go slow poke” We laughed at the irony in his statement and kept climbing. To this day when I’m hurting trying to get up a hill or to continue pushing on a long ruck, I think of that moment and it always makes me smile.” @ Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms

I became an infantryman with 2nd bat 7th mar about 4 years after this. Some older guys who were platoon sgts and gunny’s knew and served with him. It was those stories early on that helped prepare me for Afghanistan shortly after. It tends to be the brightest lights that burn out too quickly. Semper fi and we will see you on the other side brother.

A wise man once told me that when you lose someone close, you at first feel grief and sadness. As time goes by, whether it be a short time or a long time, when you think of that person a smile will come to your face and you will know that your love for that person was real and it always will be. Semper Fi Marine. Rest in power.

Warrior Rescue (501c3 Nonprofit) I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness ... should I fail. I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment's love. I have cried, pained, and hoped ... but most of all, I have lived times others would say were best forgotten. At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was ... a veteran
