THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Gene Cooper is especially touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

Lance Corporal Donald Lucian Bennett, Served with Company E, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

I grew up in Fairield Ca next door to Donny. He was the same age as my older brothers. We were all military families growing up. It was a proud day when he went into the Marines. The one thing I remember to this day is that before he left for Vietnam he gave me a Marine Corp flight jacket. I kept it for years until I went into the Army in 1968. I just recently learned the circumstance of his death. He will always be a hero in my eyes

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.
