Be Thou At Peace

| That's what they called him when he was a TAC during my cadetship in 63-64. I called him Lee as he was married to my cousin Marie West Parmly and I had been the ring bearer at their wedding at West Point. Lee was the epitome of the gung-ho, macho infantry officer that we all aspired to be. I was enough of a hive to go engineers, but Lee's indoctrination tactics worked and I went Infantry. Later on we actually sort of served together when I was with the 25th Inf Div. in Pleiku and I was able to welcome him to his Pleiku assignment as the Special Forces (what else?) A Team commander. |
