Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers, I am truly sorry for your loss. Ben was a great man and I am proud to have served with him in Afghanistan and Iraq! I was his ammo man and I have lots of fond memories of him. It saddens me deeply that he is gone and left behind his kids. I can't believe he is gone at the same time. Again, I am truly sorry for your loss and wish you all the best. Please know I am thinking of you and praying for you.

Kathy, It's hard to express how sorry I am to learn of the loss of your son. No family should have to endure such grief and pain. I hope it helps knowing that your friends and family hold you in their hearts and prayers.
