Leonard Mallonee Cowherd III

West Point, 2003

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Lee Gray on May 20, 2004:

What candles may be held to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes.
The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing down of blinds.

-These lines by Wilfred Owen are what I thought of when I heard of our classmate's death in Iraq. There are no real words to express our loss, but I want to tell you, Lenny, that we'll remember you.
2LT Lee Gray '03
