Obituary
Mabel P. Beanner (Mother of Randolph Beanner)Greensburg.
Mabel P. Beanner, 80, of Greensburg, went to be with the Lord and her family on Sunday, March 7, 2004, at her daughter's home. She was born May 13, 1923, in Middletown, a daughter of the late Harry and Maryetta Bergan Hyatt. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Charles O. Beanner; a son, Sgt. Robert R. Beanner; four brothers, Russell, Robert, Richard and Edward Hyatt; and three sisters, Helen Reese, Amanda Anthony and Dolly Nesbit. She is survived by a son, Charles R. Beanner and wife, Sara, of Latrobe; three daughters, Nancy Anderson and husband, Charles, of Tinsmill, Donna Dempsey and husband, Ray, of Greensburg, with whom Mabel resided, and Debbie DeCriscio and fiance, Frank Pantalone, of Greensburg; 11 grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; two great-great-granddaughters; and an aunt, Sarah Gilmore, of Greensburg. Services will be private. BARNHART FUNERAL HOME, Greensburg, in charge of arrangements.
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always.
Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.
And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."
-Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
Info on Quang Tri Province:
Quang Tri City, South Vietnam (16.814185 107.101328)
Located at YD-338-533 in, and capital of, Quang Tri province. Various units were located here at various times, including Advisory Team 4, 3rd Marine Division, 1st Brigade 1st Cavalry Division, 2nd Brigade 101st Airborne Division, and the 1st Brigade of the 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized).
Target of the first NVA attacks of the 1972 Easter Offensive when four NVA divisions attacked across the DMZ. The ARVN defenders, with the help of massive U.S. airpower, including numerous B-52 missions, were able to hold the city buy were besieged until the weather closed in on 27 April 1972, preventing U.S. airstrikes. On 1 May 1972 the city, and the rest of Quang Tri province was occupied by the NVA.
Continued massive U.S. air support, which resumed when the weather cleared, stalled the NVA drive south. The ARVN counterattacked and suffered over 5,000 casualties retaking the city in brutal house-to-house fighting that finally concluded about 7 September 1972. The city was virtually destroyed as a result of intensive artillery bombardment from both sides, and the massive application of U.S. close air support.
It is unfortunate that the ARVN did not fight early in the war as fiercely as they did here, and at Xuan Loc during the 1975 NVA Final Offensive. If they had, the Republic of Vietnam might still exist as a sovereign nation.
