If you would like to leave a message for his family, please direct them to amom.

Also, we ask that you send prayers to amom, his son Matthew, family, and friends.

We love you, Mr. Tonkin. Say 'hello' to Texas Cowboy for all of us.

You're missed and will never be forgotten.

Then it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, ‘ow’s yer soul?”
But it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll.

Aye, Tommy Atkins. “It’s all right sir. It’s all in a day’s work”

Thanks bert.

Tonk was one of my favorite FReepers/Canteeners and he will be sorely missed!

His memory will live on by the passion died fighting for.

Rest in peace, Tonk.

What a fine American

Good Morning AMOM. Wanted to share this Sunday morning sunrise with you and the rest of the folks on this thread.

Another day has dawned. As we send our prayers to heaven, we get proof that God hears our petitions.

[Grampa Dave]

Yes, Tonk was a fine American.

[amom]

Good morning SouthernHawk. Thanks for the Sunday morning sunrise, very nice.

Happy Father’s Day to Brian and all fathers out there.

Oh my God, I am posting with tears in my eyes. I remember the times on the phone with him during the elections, the ping’s back and forth as I posted the Kerry VVAW FBI files info.

God speed Tonk.
