In Memory Of for Kenneth R Benson, United States Military, Born 04/21/21, Passed On 10/31/13, Honored by Leavenworth National Cemetery
I chose to place a photo of my mother Christine with my father. A military wife wasn’t given much credit back then.She held our family together when my father was away on frequent tours for the 28 years my father served. She sacrificed and served just as he did.My father lied about his age when he joined the Army Air Corp at 15 yrs old to join in the fight for freedom in WWII. He was my hero and always will be. They both are missed very much.
