Thomas Byron Hoxie

West Point, 1944

Be Thou At Peace

Dad:

It's been almost 23 years. Hard to believe; hard to believe!

As I said at your interment, you were the standard by which we had, and always will, measure ourselves - Me, Sharon, Shawn, Shannon and, then, Scot (bless him). Only the Almighty, and you, know if we have succeeded. I hope so.

You did your Duty;
You did it with Honor; and,
You did it for your Country.

There is no better epitaph than that.

Your loving son:

Lance
