Daniel Preston Whitten

West Point, 2004

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by LTC Ron Lucas,USMA Class 1969 on February 4, 2010:

Dan,
Jordan Hoffman texted me last night informing me of your ultimate sacrifice. All of us who made the commitment to serve our country know that we may pay the ultimate price but it doesn't make it any easier when you get the news about a friend and warrior who sacrificed all. I will always have the memories of your time during your semester on exchange at the Naval Academy. I was telling the current group of twelve cadets about you just two weeks ago. There were too many stories to tell but they were all good. I am so happy that I was able to meet you and Starr at the AOG tailgate in Philly in December 2008. It was an honor knowing you. We will miss you Dan but you will forever be present at our gatherings at O'Briens in Annapolis.
Starr- I can only offer my deepest symapthies. Your extended family is always here to offer our prayers and support.
Be Thou At Peace.........
.................Col Ron
