David Michael Fraser

West Point, 2004

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Dan Henshaw on December 5, 2006:

To David -- ?Rest in peace -- patriot and warrior. Well Done." Thank you David for your superior service.

Yesterday, I had the honor of giving a lapel pin to your father. The lapel pin contained the American flag, the Army flag and the West Point crest. It was given as a token of respect from a grateful nation and grateful Texans.

To David's family -- please accept our sincere condolence. Most of us can not imagine your pain or loss during such a difficult time. With a heavy heart and memories of fellow soldiers, we come to share your pain.

Your son made a tremendous sacrifice so that we could enjoy the freedoms that we have today and for that we are forever grateful to David.

Thank you for your service as you supported David in this cause against a brutal, cowardly and evil enemy. Because of Soldiers like David and families -- like the Helen and Richard Fraser family -- we will be victorious in this battle against an enemy with a mission to destroy us.

As a Vietnam era veteran and the father of a West Point cadet, my heart felt sympathies go out to your entire family.

These soldiers are our brightest and our best that we, as a nation, have to offer. The people of this world owe you more than they will ever realize.

Remember -- we haven?t lost David, we know where he is as we are told in John 15:13.

I enjoyed seeing the picture of the bridge David built. My father was a bridge engineer and I have a special appreciation for the work involved in the design and building of bridges. Now each time I see a bridge, I will think of David and your family along with my father.

God Bless you and keep you close.
