THE WALL OF FACES

Here it is 40 something years since your death but the pain is still real. Upon viewing the traveling wall in Hawaii and the wall in D.C., tears still flow uncontrollably. Bobbie you will be remembered by your siblings forever.

Sister Shirley said, you were a good brother.

Dear CPL Robert William Benjamin, 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, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

Rest in peace with the warriors.

Robert is buried at National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.

He maka lehua no kona one hanau



One who has the face of a warrior (loyal and honored) in his place of birth.
