Sara Marie (Knutson) Cullen

West Point, 2007

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Keelan McNulty on March 29, 2013:

I was blessed with Sara's presence at Ft. Wainwright, Alaska as she served as one of my platoon leaders during the last eight months of my company command. I remember the first day meeting her in the S1 shop and immediately upon shaking her hand I knew I wanted her leadership to affect our company. She started as our maintenance platoon leader quickly learning the priorities of the job and immediately making a bond with her soldiers. Because of our units transformation at the time she quickly transitioned into a flight platoon and was eager to lead air assaults and become a pilot in command. My last few flights in the Army were flying with LT Knutson (at the time) as we made training patterns at LADD Army Airfield. Sara not only had the leadership traits, but also was very intelligent and always used her common sense. During our time at NTC she never was shy to volunteering for any mission, task, or duty. There is a special place in my heart for Sara and all her family and friends. A truly amazing leader and I am honored to have served in her presence.
