Corporal Phillip Dean Mobley
March 1991 - Killed during ground war in Iraq, Mobley was 26 years-old. He liked to ride fast motorcycles on the Autobahn when we were in Germany at 3d Armored Division Headquarters at Drake Kaserne in Frankfurt. On the road into the desert he asked me to take a few pictures for him of some camels so that he could send them back to his mother in Missouri. One of the last things he said to me on the way into the desert was, "..is this it?" He told his aunt, "If I don't make it, put me under a tree." He was killed by a land mine just after the cease fire went into effect and one day after his seven-year enlistment in the Army was scheduled to end.
Lieutenant Colonel David Allen Douthit
May 1991 - Killed along Tapline Road, Saudi Arabia after the cease fire. He had served in the office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon and was assigned to the Pentagon when he volunteered to go to the Gulf; he died the day after he arrived in county in an accident along Tapline road as he was headed into Iraq. Dave was drafted as a private during the Vietnam War in 1970, worked his way up through the ranks and was on the promotion list to E-7 when he recieved a direct commision to 1st Lieutenant. Dave was a graduate of the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, class of '87, and was my husband's staff section 'deskmate' during the 'best year of your life' assignment. He left his wife Martha and two daughters, Stacy and Amanda. My son Christian David is named in honor of him and Colonel David M. Fishback,USMA 1964 , a friend of our family, the former 3d Armored Division Chief of Staff, who died at Fort Leavenworth in 1991.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. | ||
