Thomas Wayne Stewart

TOM WAS A FINE AND BRAVE OFFICER. HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!!

GREAT SOLDIER, GREAT FRIEND

I worked with Thomas W. Stewart as part of the 2/2 ACR. He was first in everything he had his soldiers do. An honorable man and someone I would have followed into battle with. Every Wednesday was War Chart Day. The maps were placed front and center and for hours LTC Stewart analyzed his maps. Sometimes I would catch him moving a pin, looking over his new war plan, thinking over the possibilities of what could be. Most times I would see his hand come up again to move the pin back to where it had started. He questioned his judgement, measured his wisdom, and judges again. I never saw another officer take so much time with what ifs. It was an honor to work for a man of high caliber. Blessings to him and his. L E Estrella (Cisneros)

I would like to extend my condolences to col Stewart from one of his soldiers from the 2/2 ACR. 1982-83. I was proud to serve in his command. He was a great soldier and a great man..Sgt. Don Dye

We are so sorry to hear about Tom. Stu was also a brother to us, and he spoke often about Tom. Our hearts are hurting for your family. You are in our thoughts. Jeanette and Larry Marshall

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with your family during this difficult time. Love to you all.

Tom Stewart was a great soldier and an Outstanding Cavalry Commander. In Vietnam during TET68 he was solely responsible for the air and ground support that destroyed the enemy who had entered the Provincial Capital of Pleiku. I saw him personally decorated for heroism by the Vietnamese Three Star General. Tom was wounded by gunshot to the leg and I visited him at the hospital. After I retired I ran into Tom at Ft Lewis and we have been "commissary battle buddies"
many times. Tom was a special Wartime Battle Buddy. Great American. He is missed.

I am sorry to learn of your (our) loss. Tom was a person that I looked up to. He was my Troop Commander in Viet Nam. I am glad that Fred Miller and I got to visit with him in July.

Thanks so much for your leadership and during our time in 2/2 ACR and enduring friendship. I'm so glad we were able to spend the time together at the reunion last year. You'll be missed.

I'm so sorry for you and your family.

It's sad that I cannot make his service, but my thoughts will be with all of you. I didn't know him too well but I know he took great care of his brother and my grandpa. I love you all.

I am so sad to be missing the service. He was a wonder ful uncle. I am so appreciative of all he did for Dad. My love to all of you.
