Not sure what to say?

I remember the deployment before Afghanistan we had mess duty together ( night shift ) We would talk so much about what we're gonna do when we get home . You made those 12 hour shifts fly my brother. I remember gunny crying after you passed away. It was a sad day for 2/4. We still love you man and your not forgotten! I have a daughter now , she was born the day you passed away. Semper Fidelis

Miss you so much man. Even though we only knew each other a couple years I still think about you everyday. The impact you had on my life, my mindset, and me as a man is incredible. I will never forget you or stop loving you Ben. See you soon up there!

I hope you are in a better place brother. To your family; I have so much respect for Ben, please know that we are still grieving for the loss you have had to endure.
