Stanley Abshire
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.
