More detail on this person: I enjoyed seeing my brother mentioned in the website. Tom (Cmdr. Romolo Thomas Ribolla,) died in 1987 of a heart attack. He received the DFC for his service in Vietnam. As I am sure was true of so many, I believe that Tom really died in Vietnam. If so, he did so proudly and with the support and admiration and love of his family. He died four days after visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (The Wall) for the first time.
