Tyler Edward Parten

West Point, 2007

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by 1LT Ty Padilla on September 15, 2009:

Tyler,

Thanks for all of the good memories. I didn't know you all that well until we went to Morocco together. You definitely made my time there better. Whenever I was feeling homesick or just down in general, I could always look to you to make me laugh a little bit. I don't think I'll ever forget our times in Arabic classes together or seeing you stroll around the AUI campus in your disgusting smelly leather jacket. I'll never forget when you decided it was a good idea to buy a moped and roam around Morocco on your own, or when you snuck the dog onto campus in your backpack and then brought it back to the US once the semester was over.

I know that you left your mark on this world as a son, brother, friend, Soldier, and leader. I think you made an impact on everyone you ever encountered. Thanks for the memories.
