Remembering An American Hero

Dear PFC Vincent Mario Benedetti, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, Sir

Curt Carter

Remembering Vinnie

I woke up thinking of you, Vinnie. You would be 64 this year. You taught me how to play chess. You were a gentle, kind and wonderful guy with a great sense of humor. The day we got the news, our world changed. I'm always looking up biographies of famous people, and I thought of you this morning and googled your name into my computer, and, Thank God, there you were, Vincent Mario Benedetti, never to be forgotten. Your childhood friend and relative by marriage. Thank you, Vinnie. Marcia

Thank you, Vin

The day we met at SCSC in 1969 a great friendship formed. It hurts that you were taken away, but know I thank you. I will never forget you, Vin. You bring me pride for all you did and gave up, but more pride because you were a dear friend. In my prayers.
Love, Sue

Never Forgotten

FOREVER REMEMBERED

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."

Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.

We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:

Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.

From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Thank You

Recently, I read a short biography on you, and I wanted to tell you how proud we are for what you did. You died serving our country at the age of twenty-two. It must have been hard, being drafted right out of college, and knowing your future would take a different direction. Thank you for serving our country.
