No Words Necessary


First Place - International Picture of the Year
Todd Heisler
The Rocky Mountain News

When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno Airport, Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather on the tarmac. During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at Denver International Airport, Major Steve Beck described the scene as one of the most powerful in the process: "See the people in the windows? They'll sit right there in the plane, watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds, knowing that they're on the plane that brought him home," he said. "They're going to remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should."

The ceremony is set up for June 28th at 9:00 AM. Mr. Benansky stated that if anyone had any questions please feel free to contact him using the contact information on his e-mails. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get a few of the guys to attend? I appreciate your helping me get this word out!

Info from Joe Currier


The following is a letter that Joe Currier received from Ft Meade, Maryland, concerning his brother Gordon Currier Jr (212th 67'/68'), who was KIA with his dog Satch.

_

Sir,

First let me introduce myself, my name is SFC Benansky and I am the Kennel Master for the Ft. Meade Military Working Dog section at Ft. Meade Maryland. I am writing you today inform you of my intentions to dedicate our brand new facility in honor of your brother PFC Gordon L. Currier, Jr. and his K9 partner Satch. The dedication is a testament to his dedication, sacrifice and selfless service in defending freedom and the American way of life. The Military Police Historian at Ft. Leonardwood suggested your brother as a candidate for this dedication. The installation commander Colonel McCreedy has already approved the dedication and I am seeking your blessing and hopefully your presence. The tentative date for the ceremony is scheduled for the last 2 weeks of June. Would it be possible for you and or your family members to attend? I hope to hear from you soon.


Very Respectfully,

CHAD M. BENANSKY
SFC BENANSKY, CHAD (SKI)
Ft. MEADE KENNEL MASTER
