Special Forces Comrade
35 years ago, Estel and I served together for 3 brief months at the Special Forces Camp A109 (Thoung Duc), Vietnam. We worked hard, laughed a lot, went on combat patrols together, and tried to do our jobs the best we could under difficult circumstances. Estel was lost in action in the prime of his life with much to live for. He was a fine soldier and a good man. I will always honor his memory - Welcome home buddy. LEST WE FORGET.

IT WAS BETTER TO HAVE LOST THESE HEROS, THEN NOT TO HAVE HAD THEM AT ALL.

Time cannot erase the painful memory of this day. On this day, 38 years ago, my life and the lives of my children changed forever. For the One we loved, lost his life defending our country. May we never forget all the families who lost loved ones, men who will never see their children grown, or able to hug their Grandchildren. This pain you carry around daily. I wish everyone who reads this will pray for our troops in Iraq. May this war end soon and our military can come home. God bless them all. Ruby Lea Spakes

You and John are not forgotten
I did not know Estel, but I knew John "Michael" Tomkins very well. John was my "big brother" in that I never had one and he took that role. I am proud that John was able to serve our country and to serve with a man like Estel. It sounds to be like they were two peas in a pod. I wish they had both been able to come home whole. But their sacrifice will not be forgotten. Thank you Estel for your service and for your friendship to my brother John.
