Vietnam veteran Tom Sakal, a superb defensive back on the 1967 Golden Gophers 1967 Big Ten champions and one of the great captains in program history, will be interred Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery. Tom was a wonderful friend and he lived a life that blessed so many others including his many years as an insurance executive.

Go Gophers!!
 

Gophers 1967 > NFL 1968 > drafted and sent to Vietnam as a combat infantryman in 1969. A real life hero that went on to have success in the business world after his playing days and army tour were over.
 

God bless all who knew him.
