Sgt. Bennett and I were captured together in South Vietnam on Dec 29, 1964 and in 1965 he was reportedly executed by the Viet Cong. He was elected into the US Army Ranger Hall of Fame this year. He also received numerous medals. A very brave veteran to be remembered forever.

SFC Ronald L. Brooks
This is a tribute to my husband SFC Ronald L. Brooks, part of the 3rd/304th, 98th Division out of Lewiston/Auburn, serving in Iraq since October of 2004. We are very proud of everything he is doing over there. This has been a difficult sacrifice on both our parts, but especially for him putting his life on the line everyday for his country while being away from his home and family. He is a loving husband and father, and a devoted soldier. He is missed and loved very much by all who know him and we hope to have him home safely very soon.
SFC Marvin Gene Sawtelle
Your 21 years of service and your two tours of Vietnam make your family and your country proud. You speak of it humbly like it wasn't something that should be honored and remembered with great respect but in fact you deserve the highest ranks in honor and respect. If then, C.O. Colin Powell thought well enough of you to write a letter of recommendation for you than I think that you must have done wonderful and courageous things while you served. I know you don't talk about it much and I can understand that it was a difficult for everyone.
SFC Marvin Gene Sawtelle
Thank you Dad for all that you do and have done for me and our Country. Thank you for your 21 years of service including your two years in Vietnam. Your dedication and willingness to keep our beautiful country we call "home" peaceful and safe is honorable. I love and respect you so much, Dad. Thank God for you.
