Christopher Dale Bland

West Point, 1982

Be Thou At Peace

It has been nearly 43 years since I last saw "C-B" and the warmth and glow of his friendship remains with me to this day. I remember being at Armor OBC at Ft. Knox when I heard of his passing. It was extremely sad news for me and everyone who knew him. He was everpresent at every I-3 event and challenge. He was always quick to lend support in any way, and I will always remember his smile and friendship. Anyone who spent time with Chris should be considered blessed for it.
