Joseph Refugio Brillante
West Point, 1969
Be Thou At Peace

| Many have spoken of Joe's devotion to West Point and especially to guiding young men and women to open a file and take the necessary steps to secure the greatest chance of securing selection as a cadet. I, for one, am indebted to him as he guided me to guide my granddaughter to making the Class of 2022. There were countless others he similarly helped, sparing no effort on his part. This is only one of the many investments he made to the future of West Point, the Army, and the nation. May it be said of him, "Well Done!" |
