My name is Stan Abshire. I was in Vietnam in1966, and then stationed at Fort Belvoir, Va. Luther Blackbear White Eagle was stationed with me and we became very close friends. I was still 18 years old and had already spent a year in Vietnam and I think he believed someone needed to take care of me. I was kind of a loose cannon at that time so he literally adopted me as a little brother. He had such an impact on my life for that short period of time that many times throughout my life I often would think of him and what he would say to me. I'm 73 now and in poor health but I still have many memories and much respect for him and his influence on my life. My heart is sad for the loss of this man not only to his family and friends but the Indian nation at large. I have
often wondered what happened to him and where he was. I tried many times to locate him without success. If you need to contact me for any reason you can email me at [email protected]. My prayers are with you.

My name is Malia Miller. Lou was my adopted grandfather, who welcomed me into his people's traditions, giving me my name Blue Star when I was 6. I just found out about his passing and am deeply saddened. The impact this man had on my life and childhood was profound and has stayed with me almost two decades later. May he and his family rest in peace and know that his legacy lives so tenderly in my and I'm sure many other hearts.

We will always remember how Lou honored the ancestors when he stopped them from ripping through the gravesites in Nashville. Amen Lou! And he was there when we had the first Nashville Walk For Water to say prayers for the water and land Together-as he always remembered-- Mitakuye oyasin

I will never forget the first time that I met Lou WhiteEagle. It was over 20 years ago. I was like a moth drawn to a flame. Lou had that special kind of magnetism. I will be forever grateful for the privilege of knowing Lou. I will cherish every moment we spent together and every memory. He was so loved and respected so highly by so many. My most heartfelt sympathy for his children, grandchildren, all of his family and friends and all who loved this beautiful man.
