THE WALL OF FACES

Benny I think of you often, you were a fun guy and a friend to everyone. I have dreams of us at a school dance but no one can see you but me. I joined the Marines because of your death. Rest easy my Friend I will see you again someday.

Dear Lcpl Benny Prestwood, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is the end of Spring. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

As your 71st birthday approaches, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

Semper Fi, Marine

According to personal data records Lcpl Prestwood was also awarded the Bronze Star for Valor.
Rest in peace,

Dear LCPL Benny Ray Prestwood, 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
