Robert Wilson Collins

West Point, 2008

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Mike Merseburg on July 20, 2010:

I shared alot of time with Rob inside the classroom as we were both Civil Engineering Majors. Rob always saw the bright side of a rather extreme and intense course load. Rob was a great friend and I will never forget his amazing outlook on life. My funniest and probably most lasting memory of Rob occured back in September of 2008 at BOLC II. I wasn't aware that Rob and I were in the same BOLC class until one day on land navigation we both got completely lost and accidently ran into each other. It was a terrible experience but being with Rob and just talking about life made it worth getting lost that day. I always enjoyed his company and will never forget his sacrifice. The world is a lesser place without Rob.
