Daniel Brian Hyde

West Point, 2007

Be Thou At Peace

To Dan's Family

Christopher (Dan's bridge building teammate) and our family are devasted by the news of Dan's death.

We knew him as truly one of the finest of the finest. Our Army and our Nation was privileged to have such a fine young man leading soldiers in harm's way.

We remember at a class reunion, the guest speaker from the Class of 1952 spoke of his classmate whom he felt had made the greatest contribution to the Army and to the Nation in the prior 50 years - it was not a general officer, but it was a classmate who gave his life as a lieutenant during the Korean War.

What Dan was doing was extremely important, just as what his other classmates and all the other service members who are in Iraq and Afghanistan are doing today.

We hope that in the midst of your grief, you can understand the impact that Dan had on so many people, many of whom who don't even know. We grieve with you, while we celebrate Dan's meaningful life.

May God's peace be with you at this horribly difficult time.
