Tribute to Stephen Tanner by Michael Barrowman

A simple phone call a little more than ten years ago transformed fading memories into a shining legacy that all past and future members of the 510^th can embrace and cherish. Steve was the force that united generations of former 510^th members. His tireless efforts forging our reunions united generations who served their country proudly and unconditionally. When I look at the photos on our website and recall all the stories told by those before me I will always think of Steve.

I will attend your memorial service where I will proudly wear the color purple, render a salute to a fallen warrior, raise the claw, and send you off with a hearty “Buzzards Rule, Once a Buzzard Always a Buzzard”

May you rest in peace Steve; it has been an honor to have known you. You will not be forgotten

A famous General once said “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away”. I would like to think that Old Buzzards never die but just depart the bounds of this world and ascend to the heavens. Thanks to Steve they will neither fade away nor be forgotten.
