Driver, on his track, #34.
3523, Columbia Street, Des Moines, iowa, 50313, USA
A great man, in my life, SGT., Esteves.
I knew this great man, only a short time, as the track commander, in B, Troop, track, #34. I was his driver, for several months, until he wanted, to join a infantry squad, in our B, Troop, in 3/4, Cav.. It was a great shock, to our entire platoon, to not only lose, a great man, like Sgt., Esteves, but 2, weeks, before his death, our former B, Troop, Platoon leader, 1LT., Russell A Steindam, was also killed, in an ambush. I will never, forget, this man and his great smile and outlook, on life which was ended, before his time. May peace, be with you. #34, Driver- Jerry M Brownfield, 1969-1970.
