The Courage to Stand up For What You Believe
To the family of Thomas W. Bennett,
I was inspired by your son’s story because he was a conscientious objector. I also do not believe in killing others. He stood up for his beliefs. He cared about human life enough that he wouldn’t kill other people, so he became a medic to help them instead. My mom is a paramedic and she has a tough job. He did a very important job. He didn’t stop there though. He went above and beyond Because he also gave his life trying to save others. I hope that one day I will get to meet him in the resurrection. (John 5:28, 29; Rev. 21:4)

Your Sacrifice Will Never Be Forgotten
Thomas, I just read the story of your bravery in battle. It brought me to tears and brings to mind the words of Jesus, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. Thank you, my brother, for giving us such a powerful witness of love and courage. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. You will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Thomas.
