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.
