Edmond Howard Drake

West Point, 1960

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Keith Garner on June 1, 2011:

I met Ed early in Beast Barracks. We were in 6th Company together and A-2 together throughout our cadet careers. I had several classes with him. After graduation, we were in Ranger, Airborne, and Artillery Officer Basic Course together. He was the honor student in our Airborne Class, thus earning him the nickname "Airborne Ed". I was shocked and saddened to learn of his passing, and miss him.
