To a relative I never had the honor of meeting. Ben and My father Gregory G. Gore were cousins and close childhood friends. My father was drafted into the Air Force in 1968 shortly after the untimely death of Ben and served in South Vietnam for a year. I have carried on the family legacy by joining the Air Force in 1997 as a C-141B and C-17A Loadmaster. I have carried many U.S. Marines back home to their friends and loved ones after fighting in the global war on terrorism. Every time I pick up or drop off a marine in a combat zone I remember the great sacrifice that Ben made three decades earlier. You are still in all of our hearts and thoughts Ben! Semper Fi!

Though I was only 7 when you made the ultimate sacrifice for your country, I'll never forget the last time I saw you. Sitting at the dinner table with my sister and brother and seeing the excitment in your face. You were very proud to serve and had the option of staying home if you so desired. I'll never forget seeing my Mother on the phone, hearing the news of your passing. I'll never forget hearing the rifles being fired at your funeral. Though I always wonder what happened, your memory lives on in our family. My 12 year old son knows of you and the sacrifice you made! God Bless You! Russell Edmunds.
