Kirk Barnes Knipp

West Point, 1981

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Tony Gates on February 25, 2012:

Be thou at peace, Kirk... I'll miss your sense of humor, your wit, your taste in music, and your calling me on the carpet when I needed it.

From our yearbook:

"KIRK BARNES KNIPP D-4
Costa Mesa, CA. Lieutenant
Answering 'Oh, just ten' to a question of how far he
ran typifies the calm attitude Kirk had toward the hectic life at West Point. His ability to persevere under immense academic and physical pressure was incentive to others to graduate and become Army Officers.
