THE WALL OF FACES

Garrett, Indiana...1960

Sgt. Walangitang migrated here from the Netherlands, but was born in Indonesia. If you have a photograph of this hero, please post it here.

He was a hero who made the ultimate sacrifice. Rest in peace, soldier, in the arms of God and the angels.

The war may be forgotten but the warrior will always be remembered !!!! All gave Some-Some gave All. Rest in peace Benjamin. :-(

Benjamen: You made the Ultimate Sacrifice.

If any Family members or Friends of Benjamen reads this, I am looking for a picture of him to send to W.DC for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. It would be nice to have a picture of him to put with his name. Military or H.S. picture will do.

I remember that hot August night. I had been to midnight chow and was visiting Bob Kuzmicki when the rocket hit. I believe the gooks were trying to hit the new theater. Instead they hit directly next to Ben’s barracks. Bob and I both ended up on the floor. We and many others scrambled to clear the mess and help those we could.

I’ve ridden a motorcycle since before Da Nang and now ride with Patriot Guard Riders. Embroidered on my vest is: “Remembering: Benjamin T. Walangitang, USAF, KIA, Vietnam”. I can never forget!

Ben is interred at Arlington National Cemetery Section 51 Site 2966.
