Be Thou At Peace

| COL Fishback - My son, Christian David, will carry your name and be reminded of you long after we are both gone. The dedication and honor you showed me as a young staff officer under your 'wing' - your road through the prep-school to the Academy - your service in war and peace - these are things I want him to know and to follow. Many of the attitudes you taught me - the humor and the focus on the mission - I have carried to this day in my time as a U.S. Congressional Aide- my run for the United States Congress and to the college classrooms I have taught in. I will always remember your loyalty to all of us who served with you and your fantastic way of looking forward. You have touched many more than you could know. I feel certain that as Jane and your daughters were so fortunate to have known you personally that I and my future wife were fortunate to have served a tour of duty with you as a boss and a mentor....my 6th child will be born this summer, and will know who David Fishback is. God bless you - I'm glad I know you. Put in a good word for me up there. Van Jenerette & family |
