John Heinmiller

West Point, 2004

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Vincent TOURNY on April 23, 2001:

Dear Mr. and Mrs HEINMILLER

As I am one of the French exchange cadets, I don't know you, I don't know John. I've lost one of my best friends and I can understand your pain. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers for the Lord welcoming him and give you strengh.Just this poem for his eternal memory.

Camarade que je ne connais pas
Ce soir, pour toi je prierai,
Et pour ceux que tu laisses ici bas
J'aimerais pouvoir dire tout ce que tu etais
Mais les mots me manquent pour temoigner.
Ton souvenir restera a jamais dans nos ames.
Rien au monde ne pourra soigner
Cette blessure que laisse ton absence
Ni les photos, ni les larmes
Et tout maintenant est devenu silence.
Repose en paix.

French exchange Cadet Vincent Tourny.
