Benjamin D. Desilets

I didn’t know who you were until today when I walked past your resting place and noticed your picture and your birthday. You were born the same year I was bro, and that stopped me in my tracks. Your bravery and courage is felt and appreciated still and I stopped and thanked you. I wanted to look you up and know the man I was honoring. Thank you for your service. Thank you for the beautiful life I am able to enjoy today. Thank you for defending me. Right beforehand I had given a small amount...

Love and missyou buddy.

We have not forgotten Ben. Never will.

I'll never forget serving with Ben. He'll be remembered always and I speak for all of my Marine brethren when I say he was truly one of us and will be sorely missed.

Thank you so much for not forgetting Ben -- from his family - Kyra, Brenda, Laura, Hannah and Zana

Ben we have not, nor shall we ever, forget.

To the family and friends of Lance Cpl. Benjamin D. Desilets:
Always remembering Benjamin. "Some gave all."
