Todd Jason Bryant

West Point, 2002

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by MAJ John Nagl '88 on November 19, 2003:

I had the honor of serving with Todd in the 1st Battalion, 34th Armor in Iraq. His loss devastated the unit, but we have rededicated our efforts here in his memory. A fellow soldier wrote a poem in Todd's memory, which I have taken the liberty of quoting:

The Day Todd Bryant Died
by CPT Dave Mugg

For duty's call and foreign need,
Backing up their word with deed,
Stone-faced knights rode iron steeds
On the day Todd Bryant died.

Riding forth to lend a hand,
Bringing hope to a desert land,
When Death came roaring out of the sand
On the day Todd Bryant died.

News mongers ask why we should care,
But their words are naught but dust and air,
For truth to tell, they were not there
On the day Todd Bryant died.

His fight made the world a better place.
His love of country gives courage a face.
"For mission and men, whatever the place."
'Til the day Todd Bryant died.
