Derek Steven Hines

West Point, 2003

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Randy Young on September 7, 2005:

My heart goes out to you in the sad loss of Derek. I know that there are no words that can provide any adequate comfort, but please accept mine. Be assured that your son was a brave young man who our nation is thankful for and is proud of. I thank you for his service and his honor. It is only because of fine young men like Derek who put this country first that we have the freedom that we have in this country. I am honored to know that he was protecting me.

My God's grace comfort you and may He give you the strength to make this through these heart-wrenching time. Know that you are in the prayers of many. May Derek's memory be honored and may you cherish his memory.

God's blessing on the memory of Derek.

Randy Young
