Peter Van Matre

West Point, 1945

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Dirk Van Matre on October 25, 2005:

My dad you are my hero,and my guiding light through my life. Though I never had the pleasure of seeing you and hearing your voice. Your many accomplishments in your brief life is your gift to me in your abscence. Never does a day pass that I don't think about you. I am grateful I am your son, and that I had a father as fine as you.

Your son,

Dirk
