Patrick Joseph Donovan

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Dale E Snyder on January 25, 2015:

I had the privilege of serving under then Lt. Donovan at Ft. Benning, GA. I was his driver which was probably the best job in the battery other than his. At the firing range, after noon (chow) he and the executives officers would gather in the back of a deuce and half for a friendly game of hearts... I just read his obituary and was saddened to hear of his passing. I never knew what happened to him after he left for ranger school and Viet Nam. He was one of those incredibly great leaders who men would follow and it was an honor to serve under him. RIP Lt. Donavan
