11 Dec 2001 "To live in the hearts we leave behind, is never to have died." (Thomas Campbell, circa 1888) From his sister, Kaye Hummel matravis@heartland.net

08 May 2005 Ward Benson succeeded me as 3rd Platoon commander and had the respect of all of the Marines who served under him. Through the reunions of the Fox 2/5 Association, I have met many Marines who served with Ward; to a man, all recall him as an exemplary leader and a good friend. I was at his side when he was wounded and have visited his gravesite in Sidney, Iowa, several times. From a friend, Pete Korn pkorn@kornlawfirm.com

The point-of-contact for this memorial is his sister, Kaye Hummel matravis@heartland.net 11 Dec 2001
