Burton Kyle McCord

West Point, 1963

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Royce Blackburn on May 31, 2004:

Burton and I were class mates at Brady High School in Brady, Texas and his dream was to be a West Point Graduate, become a General in the U.S. Army and some day be president of our great country. The only thing that prevented that dream from becoming reality was his untimely death in Viet Nam. A great friend that will never be forgotten. Royce Blackburn
