AUFightingSoldiers 685 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I have the pleasure of talking to Mr. Bennie about 3 times a week. You won't meet a nicer, more genuine man in your life. This awards ceremony has been a long time coming. I can't think of a more deserving individual!

I would bet he has great stories about JOTC Panama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet he has great stories about JOTC Panama. That brings up one of the things I've noticed about people with military careers. I've noticed that the more distinguished and active someone's military career is, the less they talk about it. The three most decorated veterans I have ever met never said a word about their service. I never knew they served until weeks after knowing them. Mr. Bennie is one of those gentlemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
