Eric Lewis Allton

Miss you everyday pal.

I know it has been 12 years since your passing, but I still love you and still find myself missing you! You were a great soldier that I was proud of. I loved hearing about your day, but most how you helped your fellow soldiers. You were a wonderful husband and great dad. Thank you!

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Allton Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to troops in Afghanistan this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Eric L. Allton US Army Captain.

He was one of the good guys I got to know and the only person I know that died in Iraq. I think of him every Memorial Day. It is such a loss for all that knew him. My heart goes out to his family and sons that will not have him in their lives anymore. I still have photos of our trip to Verdun when...
