RIP JEFFREY TOCZYLOWSKI!
Before he died in Iraq, ‘Toz’ had an order for his Green Berets: Attend my Arlington burial, then take this $100,000 for a party in Las Vegas.
SHORTLY after Jeffrey “Toz” Toczylowski’s last mission in Iraq a year ago this month, friends received a message.
“If you are getting this e-mail, it means that I have passed away,” the missive said. “No, it’s not a sick Toz joke, but a letter I wanted to write in case this happened.”
The Army Special Forces captain, 30, said he would like family and friends to attend his burial at Arlington National Cemetery, “but understand if you can’t make it.” The message, distributed by a fellow Green Beret after Toczylowski’s family had been notified of his death, added this: “There will also be a party in Vegas with a 100k to help pay for travel, room and a party.”
Last Saturday afternoon, Jeffrey’s mother, Peggy, hustled about Las Vegas’ Palms Hotel and Casino, making final arrangements for a bash that drew family and childhood friends from her son’s hometown in suburban Pennsylvania, young men and women from his days at Texas A&M, and comrades in arms who had bonded with “Toz” on missions they could not discuss with civilians.
