David Rockwell Crocker

West Point, 1966

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Tad Ono on March 30, 2021:

Dave and I were teammates on the gymnastics team. In late '68 and '69 we wound up in the same area of operations in Vietnam, I commanding a combat engineer company, he a mech infantry company. We once did a road sweep together, my men doing the sweeping and his providing security. He had a dream to go be a mountain guide in the Alps and had written on his track "To the Alps or Bust". Dave was a fun, genuine, and sincere guy who was highly respected by his troops. We lost a lot of good men in that war but Dave was one of the best. Well done, Dave, rest in peace.
