Brian E. Wheeler

West Point, 1990

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Karson Snyder on October 25, 2005:

General Wheeler,

I am very sorry for your loss and that of Brian's girlfriend's family. My prayers are with you all. The loss of a son by a father is one we all hope we will not have to endure. I submit this final portion of a poem by Robert W. Service entitled "Young Fellow My Lad."

So you'll live, you'll live, Young Fellow My Lad,
In the gleam of the evening star,
In the wood-note wild and the laugh of the child,
In all sweet things that are.
And you'll never die, my wonderful boy,
While life is noble and true;
For all our beauty and hope and joy
We will owe to our lads like you.

-- Robert W. Service

Grip hands.....
