Clark Tilton Ballard

West Point, 1963

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by BG R.M. Ong (Ret) on May 23, 2020:

Clark was a great athlete -- a big guy with big muscles -- who stood out in the Army Track Team as a hammer-thrower. He contributed much to Army's victories in inter-collegiate sports.

Clark and I parted ways after Graduation Day and our paths never crossed again. Many years later, I learned that Clark had stayed in the military, but his path took a different turn, when he joined the Medical Corps.

And now, my final salute to a great guy. I am proud to have known this man as a friend.
