Stephen Lee Bowman

West Point, 1968

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by TYE KIVELA on November 11, 2009:

Today, Veteran's Day, I found out about Steve's passing. I'm saddened, but happy to have known him. To me, he'll always be Sir, or Colonel. I was his driver at 2/2Inf in Ft. Lewis when he commanded there. You can well imagine the relationship a driver and his CO have. I'm full of fond memories of him and the times we shared as soldiers together.

When our battalion was inactivated, he gave me a plaque. It reads:
From LTC STEVE BOWMAN, 2d Bn, 2d Infantry
To SP4(P) TYE KIVELA 1987-1988
Driver, Friend, Professional

Till we meet again, my friend. "Ramrod".
