Francis James Thompson

West Point, 1960

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Keith Garner on June 2, 2011:

I met Frank in Beast Barracks. We were in 6th Company and later spent 4 years together in A-2. Frank was a great "cut-up", friendly as could be, with a winning grin and a unique sense of humor. He, Jim Hopper, and Bill Johnson were roomates. You could always count on Frank. I was devastated when he was killed in Vietnam.

"Well done," Frank, "Be thou at peace>"
