THOMAS EDWARD MARFING Colonel USA, (Ret.)

Col Marfing, who lived near Mount Vernon for nearly 50 years, was born and raised in Appleton, Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin in chemistry in 1941. He was an honor graduate of ROTC and was ordered to active duty. During World War II, he was the Senior American Liaison Officer with the Chinese First Heavy Mortar Regiment for two and a half years during training in India and campaigns in Burma and China. His first battalion was active throughout Burma, including the Ledo Road campaign and the recapture of Myitkyina and then was one of the first units to go to China over the reopened Burma Road. He and his second and third battalions were flown over the Hump for the offense against the Japanese in Western China, until the bomb ended the war. He and his regiment participated in the surrender of all Japanese forces in Western China in August 1945. He received the Bronze Star Medal and Special Commendation from the Chinese and American Supreme Commanders of the Chinese Combat Command for that service.
He returned to the University of Wisconsin for graduate work in chemistry and then continued his Army career. His assignments were mostly in planning, program management and operations in chemical, biological and nuclear warfare research and development and logistics including duty in Army laboratories; Army Material Command; Combat Development Command; Office, Army Chief of Staff and Director of Defense Research and Engineering, Office of the Secretary of Defense. He received a Master’s Degree from the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration and completed a tour of duty as Deputy Commander Verdun General Depot and Chemical Officer in Theatre Army Supply Command in France.
Col Marfing’s decorations include the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Chinese Combat Command Commendation, Republic of China War Memorial Medal, and several service medals.
After retirement from the Army, he worked for Potomac Research, Inc. He was a long-time member of Aldersgate United Methodist Church and participated in church, community, school and Boy Scout activities.
He was a wonderful, wise gentleman who loved his country and his family, and took care of them always. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him, but his wisdom and kindness will live on in their hearts…
