we love you and miss you
Recently just passed my 18th birthday. representing eighteen years of not having grandpa lyle with us. eighteen years of not knowing my grandfather. I've heard so many great memories of him i feel like i know him but I do not. I wish i could have had a life with him and still be living on the farm back on fork ridge with him and pap cy. Every day i wish that he was here and maybe things would be different. I do believe he was one of bigger hearts in my family. we miss you grandpa and i cant wait till one day i can finally meet you and we can walk through the golden gates together!

My father serviced with him.
I've heard many stories, about this hero!! My dad, was the tank commander, while Lyle Aston, was the driver and my dad, has told me numerous times, how great this man was. And I know, I was around than, but I'm glad, that America got, to have such a great man, serving her. You are always, in my prayers and so are, the many others that serviced, with you and my dad. 3

The Michelin
30, March 1969, was a day, we lost, good men. Your unit lost, 17, men, in the 3, day period. Thank you, for your service and your sacrifice. I served, with 1/5th, First, Cavalry Division, on the west, side, of Michelin, that date. We lost, you and my good friend, Donald Nixon, on this date. Today, I visited, his grave. And a poem, happened.
Standing, on soggy graves
Talking to my friend
On the 39th anniversary of his passing,
And to his parents
Who wait next to him,
I noticed movement
Out of my right eye.
Slowly, in that direction I turn.
Silently, a herd of whitetails
Stepping, softly,
Stopping.
Watching me,
Witnessing.
Don Nixon, my friend, was first to die on this date. I counted 17 in the herd amidst the rows of graves, lined like up like rubber trees.

A Friend Lost But Never Forgoten
I went to High School with Lyle and was very proud to know him, he was always smiling and and happy to be with his friends. I myself was in Vietnam in 1970-1970 , but did not know about Lyle"s passing on untill I returned home. I think of him often,and wonder what he would be doing now,If only he had made it back. I go to the Wall almost every year to say Hi again old friend. He may be gone ,but he will never be forgoten

Lyle Glenn Aston
Grandpa Lyle, if only i ever had the chance to meet you. I know you were a great person and a wonderful soldier. My family is very honored to have such a hero as you. When i was three years old my mom (your daughter) and my dad and my sister and brother moved to live on the farm that you where raised on with pappy cy, grandma eva,aunt susie, and uncle van. As you may know grandma has passed and so has aunt susie. I bet you are all smiling down on me every second! I wish everyday that i could just have one minute with you. To hold you in a big hug that i never had the chance to give you. But i do promise you this grandpa, one day ill see you in the clouds when they open the gates, and ill give you the biggest hug you've ever gotten. I love you so much grandpa. I hope i have done you proud, because i know i am so very proud of you. Thank you for serving our country, but most of all, thank you for loving your unborn grandchild. I know your watching over me.

A proud father of a little girl
Lyle: I was on the tank with you that day in March in Viet Nam. I am very sorry you died from the RPG direct hit to your drivers compartment. I miss you and think of you every day. I remember you always showing off the picture of your less than one (1) year old daughter. You were a proud father and a good friend. I hope the Army helped your family out. If I could have, i would have traded places with you. I am sorry you died, you never hurt no one and I know that you are in a better life in heaven. Tank Commander-Sgt. Roy R. Anklam
