2023 DISTINGUISHED SERVICE HONOREE & KEYNOTE SPEAKER
SA Tommy Norris
The 2023 G-Man Honors, A Salute to Heroes, honoree for 2023, is retired FBI Special Agent Thomas Norris. Prior to entering on duty with the FBI, Tommy Norris served as a U.S. Navy Seal, serving two tours in Vietnam. During one of these tours, (April 1972) Tommy led the rescue of two downed pilots across enemy lines. For his selfless acts of bravery, Tommy Norris received the highest honor in the United States Military, The Medal of Honor. Tommy Norris returned to combat in Vietnam. In October of 1972 he was shot by the enemy, was badly wounded, losing an eye. Tommy’s rescue from the battlefield earned his rescuer the Medal of Honor.
After recuperating from his injuries, Tommy went to the White House and met with President Ford. When asked what his plans were, Norris answered he would like to fulfill his dream to be an FBI Agent.
Then Director of the FBI, Judge William Webster, also a US Navy veteran, gave Norris the opportunity to pass the rigorous physical requirements. Tommy crushed the physical and shooting elements of this training, entered Quantico and became an Agent of the FBI where he fulfilled an amazing career.
At this year’s G-Man Honors, SA Thomas Norris (Ret) will be joined by FBIAA friend and supporter, Judge William Webster, the man who gave Tommy the opportunity to fulfill his dream of being an FBI Agent. Director Webster, the only person to be named both Director of the FBI and CIA, will be turning 100 years old in 2024.
SA Tommy Norris (ret.) represents Fidelity Bravery and Integrity. Overcoming great odds to rescue two fellow serviceman and then exhibiting amazing resilience in both surviving a serious combat injury and attaining his dream of continuing his service to others as an Agent of the FBI.
