THE WALL OF FACES

I had the honor to say your name during the 40th anniversary commemoration of the Wall. May you rest in peace.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Your Medal of Honor citation attests to your courage and devotion to your fellow aviators. May you rest in eternal peace.

I grew up in Lafayette and heard about Capt. Bennett when I was in high school (LHS 75). I was watching this video and immediately recognized Capt. Bennett's name as PIC on this OV-10. I can only guess that Capt. Brown was the observer mention in Capt. Bennett's MOH citation.

Soldier on.

As your 75th birthday approaches, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

"Greater love hath no man, than that man lay down his life for a friend."

HOOAH

I never met you, but you have stood as an example to follow for me since I was a kid. I know I can never live up to what I think of as your ideal, that selflessness, that sacrifice, but I try to. I am honored to be your grandson, and I just hope I've made you proud . Rest in peace.
