Daniel Brian Hyde

West Point, 2007

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Gerdes, Andrew on March 11, 2009:

I had the pleasure of getting to know Dan during my plebe year, as we were in the same cadet company at the time. He was always especially nice and sincere, and was always willing to help out a classmate with academics or anything else they might need. As we went to different companies, I interacted with him less, but bumping into him at anytime was always a joy, as he maintained his positive attitude and friendly nature, even as he was given many additional leadership positions and dealt with a difficult major.

During IOBC he continued to impress me as a soldier and a leader. I knew as we all left Fort Benning that he would be an outstanding leader, and I have no doubt that he was an incredible platoon leader. I know of nobody who didn't think extremely highly of Dan. He never ceased to be sincere, selfless, friendly, and professional in all the times I interacted with him. I truly looked up to him. He will be greatly missed.
