Courageous Ben
By John R. Greenwood
Fearless soldier
Courageous Ben
Husband, brother
Son, and friend
Sense of humor
Playing ball
Skiing fast
Standing tall
Compassionate neighbor
To those in need
All out effort
His hearty creed
Love of country
Larger than life
One love deeper
His loving wife
Lake George water
Crystal clear
Rising high
Of fallen tear
J.R.G.6.23.10
To the family of Sfc. Benjamin Osborn, I am one of the millions of your closet neighbors. I am an American citizen; proud of the brave soldiers who protect my freedom. I read with profound sorrow the daily stories of loss, heartache, bravery, and ultimate sacrifice. I can provide no relief nor respite; only words. I am forever grateful for selfless soldiers like Benjamin. My gratitude is immeasurable.
