Two days before Ben passed away he mentioned some things to me about his time in the Armed services. Most of the memories were of good times. He mentioned his friend, fellow Marine, who served with him in Korea and member of our Purple Heart chapter; Robert Lance. He wanted to know how he was doing. He reached for my hand, held it and told me he had a good life. Then he gave me that sly grin. He made my day.
