S/Sgt Bennie Lee Dexter

I wore his POW bracelet for many years when I was in high school 1966-1968 and beyond. While in Washington DC in May 2014 I found his name on the wall of the Vietnam Memorial with a cross after it meaning that he was never found. What a profound moment . . . leaving me and my friends in tears. RIP Bennie and thank you for your sacrifice.

Still think of you

I wore your bracelet for years remembering you and your service. I finally remove it from my wrist when I accidentally saw a news service when they presented your flag to your family. Thought of you today while reading a book about Vietnam era nurses. Thank you for your service.

Sgt. Bennie Dexter

In the early 70’s my mother volunteered to distribute bracelets of Servicemen who were POW/MIA. This is one I wore of Bennie Dexter. Perhaps his family is interested. Contact me.

An Honorable Hero To Be Sure

I have kept Bennie’s bracelet for 55 years. I no longer wear it but it hangs by the hole at the end of the bracelet on our den wall for all visitors to see/ask about. Bennie is there among my military family members and his story is told when visitors ask about the bracelet.

Rest In Peace Bennie! You are still remembered and hopefully can be brought home!
