Andrew Ryan Houghton

West Point, 2001

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jonathan Hopkins on August 10, 2004:

To Andy's Family,

When I think back to all the times I saw Andy at school--in class and around his company--what strikes me is that I cannot think of a time that Andy was not happy, trying to take care of people, or trying to do what he saw as right. That always brought a smile to my face. And though I never saw him while leading men in combat, I have absolutely no doubt about the quality of leader he was.

But Andy is in a truly good place now, so my heart and my prayers go out to you, Andy's family, who have certainly had to suffer the most through this ordeal. You raised a good son who sought to become a great man, and met success in every respect. Though I am very sad now that he is gone from among us, I feel nonetheless lucky to have known him. Very lucky indeed.

Well Done...Andy...Be Thou at Peace
