Dominic Rocco Baragona

West Point, 1982

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Ray W. Hymbaugh on August 14, 2005:

Just wanted to comment on the passing of a GOOD Man. I was stationed with LTC Dominic Baragona in the early 80s. He was my Platoon Leader then my Company Commander. In a time of my life when I was going through some rough times. At the time CPT Baragona was responsible for getting me help to get my life together. His compassion and big heart and the Grace of God is the only reason I sit here today in Iraq with 23 years in the Army when he could of easly just kicked me out of the Army. And in away he is also responsible for the fact that I have been married for 22 years to the same woman. He taught me to take care of soldiers. Something I have never forgot and still try to do to the best of my ability. I just wanted to pass on to everyone one one a good man and soldier he was. God Bless you all.
