Laura Margaret Walker

West Point, 2003

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Col (Ret) Mike Thiel on January 9, 2006:

During the Korean War I had the privilege to serve as platoon sergeant under Lt. Volney Warner, Laura's grandfather. His leadership during the first year of that war (1950-51) forged a close friendship between us which has lasted all our lives.
Three generations of Warners have been graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and the tremendous pride and joy that, now, retired General and Mrs. Warner have for their military family was always evident whenever we met.
The heartbreaking reality of Laura's death gives heroic testimony to her own sacrifice and that of her family in the service of our country. It is with the heaviest of hearts that I write these words in tribute to Laura, and to her parents and grandparents who nurtured a truly outstanding American soldier.
