Benjamin Ashley

Hello, We wanted to let you; your family and friends know that we have made a small donation to the Tunnel To Towers Foundation in honor of Benjamin J. Ashley US Army Corporal. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission. We will not forget. ...

Wow. I was just scanning though our fallen heroes of Missouri and came across Ben. I worked at Quik Trip with him, and he was a big Teddy Bear with a heart of gold. I worked at QT from 2001 to 2005. Never new what he went on to do, until now, but much love and respect. RIP my friend.
