Courageous Ben











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

  1. 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.
