THE WALL OF FACES

I am a student at Bishop Hendricken High School and I and doing a report on serviceman Lawrence Banek, this is not just any report this report is so that this man will never be forgotten and his name will be put on the wall at Hendricken to be remembered with many others who are already there or soon to be, so I ask if anyone has any information on this serviceman that they would like to share with me, so that he will be properly honored and remembered, if you could please e-mail me at [email protected] it would be more than appreciated, thank you

D Company, 2/35th Infantry, 3rd Brigade, 4th Inf Division.
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

While studying the Vietnam War, I was assigned to research several people from Rhode Island who gave their lives during the war. I learned that you, Cpl. Lawrence Banek, 23 were born in Cumberland, RI and were the son of Veronica and Benjamin Banek. As a ham-radio hobbyist, you helped to establish a ham-radio club at your high school. I wish I knew how to use a ham radio When you graduated you went to Wentworth Institute in Boston and had a job as an electronics-equipment repairman when you was drafted into the Army. You were drafted when you were 22 years old. I will be graduating from college when I am 22 years old. I hope that there is not a draft when I am in college. I am 18 years old now and have just registered for the draft.
