Charles Herbert Ockrassa

West Point, 1976

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by GARY SILVERMAN on March 22, 2023:

Charles Ockrassa was my platoon leader when I was a Sergeant (E5) in G Troop, 2/6 Cavalry, Fort Knox in 1977. It was his first unit as a 2LT after Armor School. I remember him as a good and competent officer, respected by his soldiers. I have fond memories of G Troop 2/6 CAV because it was a good unit. I often thought of 2LT Ockrassa over the years after I left the unit, but unfortunately I never ran into him again during my Army career. I came back to Fort Knox for my first unit as a 2LT after OCS and IOBC. I give my condolences and thoughts to Charles' family and friends.
