John Kesson Withers

West Point, 1948

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Irving B. Schoenberg on April 22, 2015:

John Withers was a great friend and classmate. As young "hot to trot" officers we shared memories of service in Okinawa during the Korean War. He and his wife Pat were a couple with whom Ann and I could count on being with for happy times. Smiles and laughter were the hallmarks of that friendship.

John served his country well and proudly. He is a shining example of the kind of product West Point has produced over the more than 213 years since its founding.

Grip Hands,

Irv Schoenberg
