Thomas A. Blair was a free spirit who tempered his shyness with a strong will, someone who would "give the shirt right off his back if he could help you," in the words of older brother Al Blair. Thomas Blair of Broken Arrow, Okla., disappeared during fighting March 23, and was later confirmed killed in action.
