BENJAMIN CHRISTOPHER NOEL

Ben was one of my favorite guys to see. I love ben and miss him so much. I'm happy I get to spend time with his family now so I'll never forget him, and remember him in happiness as I see him in his neices and nephews. This year will end in happiness for rememberance in ben and ironically snowed when we don't have snow two years in a row ever in texas. SO many seven days memories and also in the hospital. And now I miss all the txting I'd get from him from his bed, and my inbox feels empty....

Ben was a brave soul~

Ben,
We were pretty good friends our junior year. We got in trouble for stupid stuff, but even at oac we had fun. We were always the two loud wierdos in class and you always made me laugh and get in trouble. I wont forget you dude. You always kept a positive attitude and always made me smile. Seven Days buddies! I wont ever forget those gbs either. Much love dude.

Dear Ben,
I want to thank you for always making me smile and for the wonderful hugs you would give me whenever we saw each other...it didn't matter where we were! I remember one time you jumped over several desks in a classroom when I walked in just to give me a hug! I think it freaked out all the other students and the teacher! I miss you and think of you often. You will always be remembered as an awesome young man with the huge and loving heart.

I remember Ben early on as a pretty mischievous kid in the neighborhood. We watched in grow up throughout the years although we only saw him occasionally when he came by his cousins, our neighbors, Sherri Don and the kids. As he grew older I noticed a change in him. He began to mature and grow into a man. Whenever he drove by or was visiting next door he always came up to me when he saw me and said hello and shook my hand. I didn't see him as that kid in the neighborhood who might cause...

Ben,

From the time I first met you.... you dreamed of service in the Army. You were always that way... wanting to serve your fellow man.... the most noble of virtues. I will always remember you and you selfless sacrifice.... you willingness to write the blank check in the service of your country.

Your an inspiration to all who know you and love you.

I salute you.......

Lieutenant Colonel Charles A. Beeks
