I was on the mission that fateful day when Ben was killed by an enemy Mortar Attack. I did not know him, and I was there to learn, and he was there to protect me. A true American hero, and we all know that but for the grace of God, go I. I later learned that he left a young wife and newborn son, which only magnified the sadness of his loss. I also learned that I only lived about 4 hours from him in CA. I dedicate this and every future Memorial Day to him and his family's loss.

I'm from northeast Kansas. My Grandfather's name was C.A.Tollefson,born in Norway,came to America and had two sons who served in two wars,Korean and WWII. Serving your country is such a tribute for our country. Psalms 46:9 assures us that "He (God) is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth." Godbless his family.

For your sacrifice, words do little to describe our sincere gratitude. However, There is a hope for a future where such wonderful people will not have to die in the wars of the world. ISAIAH 2:4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore....REV 21:3,4-"death will be no more" Sat, 31 Mar 2012 10:55:17 -0700 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/benjamin-b-tollefson/#c43698 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/benjamin-b-tollefson/#c43698 I don't know this soldiers as I'm just visiting the website.
