Robert Leslie Olson

West Point, 1987

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Carl Ohlson on February 15, 2001:

From the moment I met Rob so many years ago at USMA I knew there was something different about him. He really got it right. In it for the right reasons, caring about the right things, the guy who was destined to make an everlasting impact on us all...and he did.
Though it didn't seem possible, my admiration for Rob was strengthened when we worked together several times to assist cadets while stationed back at USMA. Rob was the TAC that could always be counted on to cut through the "academic views" and the "USCC views" and truly take care of cadets. It seemed that every time a cadet praised his or her TAC, I could predict the name - Rob Olson.
Even more rare was the combination of Rob and Holly, a great warrior married to an amazing and caring doctor. They touched my family more than they will ever know, and with that impact on us and so many others in so many ways, Rob will live forever through us all. Thank you, Rob.
