Benedict Joseph Smith

West Point, 1999

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Justin Cook on December 23, 2007:

I was in Ben's squad during beast barracks. He was no doubt our leader. For whatever reason, I always remember Ben singing cadence as we marched around -- "a yellow bird" was a particular favorite of his. Ben is an inspiration and is missed by many.
