Richard Freeman Des Jardien

West Point, 1968

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by STEPHEN M. HERMAN on July 8, 2014:

Rich was my first roommate in Co B-2 after Beast in the Fall of '64. He was a sweet and loveable man. I am so sorry to read of his passing. He had the humor and decency to put up with my stern and unforgiving nature when we roomed together. In retrospect, I believe I loved him as a classmate and a fine human being. I wish I had the opportunity to see him before he left us. I am truly sad now.
