Many of us did not know Mr. Tonkin personally, However, those of us old enough to remember the tragedies of Vietnam, know that he represented America’s best.
He was a warrior, just as our sons and daughters across the world today. May he rest easy from his sojourn. He is, and always will be with us, in our hearts.
God Bless You, Tonk.
