Sealon R. Wentzel

West Point, 1967

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by James R. Critchlow on October 10, 2014:

"Doc" was my Battalion Commander at Fort Ord, fresh off his tour with 2/75. My most prevailing memories were the monthly "all-hands-including-mechanics-and-cooks" 8 mile runs in 64 minutes. He was leading at the front, cajoling from the sides, "encouraging" the stragglers, and afterward, sharing a tall glass of orange juice with the leaders. He tightened me up on a number of occasions for which I am grateful and better. He chose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.
