Benjamin Benjamin D. Keating

I read about your courageous son in The Outpost by Jake Tapper. His life is a testimony to the many who served with him and to those who now read of his service to our country and most importantly Jesus Christ. Your son continues to inspire even today. I have a son who serves in NSW and I pray his faith is as unwavering as Benjamin´s was. God bless you.

Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Benjamin D. Keating US Army Captain.

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...

Every so often when I reminisce my childhood in Springvale, I think of you Ben. I'm proud to call you my friend. And I wish that we could have re-connected more after we followed different paths in our lives. Our memories with each other live on and I tell them to my children. Beginning at First Baptist Church where I discovered God, love and fellowship to BYF on Sunday afternoons, exploring the woods behind your farm, church canoeing trips, camping trips and watching Kelly's Heroes before we...

Thinking of you my friend! You are remembered daily, and I hope that those of us that did come home, can honor you and ensure your name lives on forever.

Ben is NOT FORGOTTEN! Bless you and your family...your loss is remembered by many!

To the family of Ben Keating, I send my thoughts and prayers to you during these upcoming holidays and everyday. The military is blessed to have had your son join our troops and defend our freedom. May your angel look upon you and give you strength and remind you will be reunited one day... God Bless you all!.

I never knew 1st Lt. Keating, but I learned about his life, his service to our country, his bravery and valor, his looking out for his men and, ultimately, the tragic sacrifice he made.
I think of him often. I hope that my sons turn out to be as great a man as he was.
Godspeed

Today is 8/26/2013 and I am writing in the hope my message will be forwarded to Ken and Beth Keating. Today, every major TV network spoke of Outpost Keating in the honoring of an Army Staff Sergeant awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroism in a fierce battle at Outpost Keating. In fact two Staff Sergeants were awarded our highest award for valor for their heroic actions on this battlefield named in honor of your son, First Lieutenant Ben Keating. When I saw the newscast, I...
