John M. Runkle

West Point, 2009

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Phil Caruso on June 20, 2011:

Although I only knew John for the past four months, it was the highest honor to serve with him and do the work we did here that truly has made Afghanistan a better place. John was one of our country's finest soldiers and leaders, and the world is a lesser place without him. My deepest regards and sympathies to everyone suffering by his loss.

John -- Farewell, brother, and rest in peace. I will see you again someday. Again, it was my honor to serve with you.

With Highest Respect and Honor,
Phil Caruso
