THE WALL OF FACES

I was with Ben in April 1967 and I spent over a year with him in NC. I came home with hjm for a weekend and stayed at his house and saw his mother sister and Pam Jim Smith USMC;

I am Benjamin's grand-nephew (his sister's grandson) and I visited his name on the wall two years ago. I know the story of his death and I just wanted to give him my gratitude

I went to the wall with my Father for the first time, and he cried when he touche Benjamin's name. My father is Nick Santos. He served with Benjamin and I just want to take a moment and honor him.

I was Ben Mollica's wife. We were together from first grade, After high school we were married and had a beautiful baby boy. Months after his birth Ben was sent to Vietnam. He was killed in May 1967. We received the news when we were celebrating our son's fist birthday. How devastating that day was for all of us.

Benjamin G. Mollica graduated in 1963 from St. Francis Preparatory School now located in Fresh Meadows NY.
