BrYan was one of my best friends since the age of 15. In all of those years he never judged me, and really only had kind words for me, except obviously for his sarcastic comments, which was part of what made him so special. He was someone who was constantly there for me, and I will miss him every day. Bryan was and always will be a hero in my eyes. He served his country with respect and bravery. To Maria, and the rest of Bryan's family, words cannot say the sadness I feel with all of you right now. My most sincere love and sympathy goes out to all of you right now and always. Please know that I am praying for all of you as well as Bryan. Bryan loved all of you very much, and spoke of you all frequently, especially you Maria. Take care of each other, and if I can do anything for any of you, please let me know.

God Bless.

Dear Family of Sgt Benson:



I do not know you, nor do you know me. However, since Bryan is a Marine, I felt I wanted to acknowledge his passing. You see, my son and daughter in law are both Marines, and I have learned over the years that Marines take care of one another and the same goes for Marine Families. I do not know the cause of Bryans death, but I greive his passing. Please accept my deepest condolences at this time of great sorrow. Bryan is a hero. God's grace to all the family and friends of Bryan as you move through this difficult time. Most sincerely,



Laura Conright
