F. David Ortman

West Point, 1959

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Gordon Phelps USMA 1988 on September 5, 2008:

Frank Ortman was an inspiration to me. I would never have thought of joining the Long Gray Line had it not been for his son David informing me that his father, Frank Ortman, had graduated from West Point. Frank was also a great pilot and electrical engineer. Frank, having a superb intellect and sharp athletic skills was shaped into one of America's elite warriors by West Point. The Strategic Air Command was able to benefit from Frank's talent for years to come. Thank you, Frank. I know that you are at peace with Eula.
