Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
Please contact me and I will email you back a copy of the
Angel drawing I have posted here.
I did not know Manuel, but I am remembering on
this day he gave his all.
He is my hero.
Sincerely,
Debra Estep

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Manny,
I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but feel as though I have as my brother served with you and recited countless number of stories to me about you. My family and I appreciate all you did for this country and us. As my brother told me when he informed me of your death "He was a great person and a damn fine soldie." You are truly missed

Today I want to Thank You, Yolanda and Kira for the sacrifice you all made. I find comfort in knowing that GOD saves a special place for people like you. Nancy and I will NEVER forget you.

Your smile and personality will never be forgotten. You are a hero in all our eyes and we will never forget you. I'm happy you were able to experience marriage and a family. Also, I'm happy you were able to experience with not just anybody, but your high school sweetheart. To Kira and Isabella, I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you know, you have many shoulders to lean on. Take Care.

My sympathy goes out to your family. My son was killed on March 25, 2005 in Iraq so I understand your grief. I have found some measure of peace knowing that my son and others like him have chosen this path to help our country and others to enjoy the freedom that we enjoy. God bless you all.
