Be Thou At Peace

Here's another "nickle on the grass" for Bob Johnson. Our Class, our Alma Mater, and our Country have lost a friend, a leader, and a true patriot. Bob stood tall in every respect. And even more significant, Bob Johnson stood for something. He proudly represented those concepts that West Point counts as it's own: Duty, Honor, and Country. One never had to search to learn Bob's position on a subject of interest or concern to West Point or the U.S. Army. And his position was neither selfish nor parochial. Many will say he was great while being controversial. I say he was principled, forthwright, honorable, and a man of vision. I say we are all better for having Bob Johnson as a classmate. My sincere sympathy goes out to Bob's family and my prayers are for Bob. I salute a true professional and add "Be Thou At Peace" along with his trademark phrase, GRIP HANDS! Well Done! my friend. |
