Christopher Shultz Goeke

West Point, 2008

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Joseph W. Adamczyk on July 17, 2010:

Dear Kelsey and Mr. and Mrs. Goeke and Family:

As a USMA '72 grad and father of a USMA '01 grad, both having served in the 82d, and now living close to Bragg, I am deeply saddened by your loss. Little I can say can ameliorate your grief. I hope you find some comfort in knowing that our family's thoughts and prayers are with you and Chris. He is one of a "special breed" whose legacy will live on in your hearts, in the Division, and in the Long Grey Line. He is a man, a leader, a Soldier who is personified in the Roosevelt quote he loved (a personal favorite of mine) and in a quote from Isaiah 6:8 - "And I heard the voice of the Lord say, "Whom shall I send? Who will go for me? And I answered, "Here am I Lord, send me".

May God bless Chris and the soldiers lost with him. God bless your family. "May it be said, "well done". Be thou at peace"

Respectfully,

Joe Adamczyk
USMA '72
