But announcing it here was not Beamy’s place to do. Serious question: Why? At least as far as the edit, all he posted was links. I didn’t read what he originally posted. |

Guessing the difference is the board staff was trying to be sensitive to the surviving relative who also is a member. When I go, I hope all of you show up wearing arf stuff.

She has a dark complexion so dark conservative colors will be best (I'd ask to wife/gf/sister etc to help pick it out, but I am hopeless with that stuff). Cheers! Ben I put together a nice care package that covered everything he asked for. He gave me the names of 33 people in his unit because I wanted to address a card to each one, knowing service members like to get mail. I had my daughter's 4th grade class pick a name and write a letter to that person in the unit. Then we shipped the care package. Ben sent back a picture of his hootch? hutch? digs? all decorated with the lights and ornaments, and he told about passing out the cards and the young lady's nail polish. Well, a while later I received a packet with letters from most of the airmen, each addressed to their 4th grade patron. I took them to class and the teacher gave me the whole period to pass them out and let each child read out loud the letter they received. Man, I got teary eyed. The kids LOVED it. Later, and completely unexpected, my family received the gift you see below. It is a personalized memento containing a flag that was flown aboard a C-130E on September 11, 2007. Personally from Ben Miller. RIP Brother. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/30012/Chairborne_Flag-3204085.png Wow, awesome story! ![]() |

When he left our AO, I bought his T-bird for my younger son to take to Arizona. He gave my wife many of the items with which she had decorated his place in Spanaway. I still have the wine racks. I still have the t shirts he sent me from Iraq, too. I just remembered a tidbit. I was never a wine fancier, but, Ben would drag me to the Class Six and implore me to try German stuff, anything German. I bought one bottle of Jakob Demmer Spatlese. Shit, by the end of that year, I had bought all the JDS they had imported. Several cases of it went past my lips and Ben's. We also shared a passion for Costco cake with extra layers of buttercream frosting. Whodathunk? |

Never before has so much been owed by so many to so few.
| I really don’t understand what kind of asshole could say something to be banned from this thread. A member/member’s brother was murdered. Regardless of any private details we don’t even know a member/member’s brother should get our support. This is an embarrassing and sad thread through no fault of Beamy. RIP Chairborne. |

Dang, rest easy. What a messed up way to go. Ben and I exchanged a few IM while we were both stationed in England. He was down the road at Mildenhall, I was at Lakenheath. Unfortunately our schedules didn't match up to meet in person. I should have made more of an effort. I slapped a bunch of BFL stickers on the front of our fuel trucks in Ali Al Salem Kuwait while I had a summer vacation there. Ben was on the following rotation working the C130s and said he enjoyed seeing the BFL on the front of the fuel trucks when they pulled up to his aircraft. |
