Stephen James Kempf

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Terry D. Hand on December 29, 2021:

Steve was my second detail platoon leader at Buckner in the summer of '64. He led us into recondo training and led us on the extended patrol. It was a big deal for us yearlings. I was in awe of his skill and cool and just plain leadership during those several days. His example from that experience has stayed with me for these last 57 years. I knew Steve briefly at Leavenworth years later. I am privileged to have known him. May he Rest In Peace.
