Douglas Brian Gurian

West Point, 1986

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Grant Goldsmith on September 10, 2010:

Mr. Gurian,

I did not know you sir but I was at Ground Zero by nighfall on September 11th managing the death with as much respect as we could must. We may have met that night or in the coming days.

I am reflecting on this event and the losses of the day 9 years ago and I thought it right to post my thoughts to you as the only one of us to perish in the attacks.

I hope you are in eternal peace and I hope your family remembers you fondly and without remorse on Sep 11th.

Best Regards,

Major Grant Goldsmith
USMA 1991
