A Diplomatic Courier for the United States before, during and after World War II, (1942 to 1945), Thomas L. Horn Jr. traveled South America, Europe and parts of Russia.
His wartime heroics, in fact, helped keep valuable tungsten metals away from the Germans in occupied France, which wasn't even part of his job for the Embassy.
His closest taste of actual combat, 22 year old Thomas L. Horn had enemy bullets pass his head as he shot back at his unseen Kraut enemy. His heroics, alongside his fellow Couriers, worked. The Germans gave up their quest and fled. This was the closest to combat he came during his service to the country.
