John Sylvester Rave

West Point, 1958

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by David L Cross on March 3, 2006:

As a young 2LT at Ft Dix John Rave took my job as the only 2LT CO on base when he returned from VN. He made it worth my while by showing me NY city at the tender age of 20 by tearing up the Top O' the Sixes on one of our city tours. He was also my inspiration to volunteer for a tour of duty in Viet Nam. I'm deeply saddened, even at this late date, by his passing. I would like to hear from any one who knew John.
