Today I honor two great Americans and warriors.

SFC Ben Wise and I served on the same team in Special Forces as “Green Berets.” We deployed and conducted many missions together in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our 2nd tour to Afghanistan I was leading another team. Towards the end of the deployment I received the news that Ben was gone. He was wounded 6 days earlier and passed from his wounds. We had numerous missions that I didn’t expect to go home, or expected to lose brothers. I indoctrinated into my mind that I was already dead. It was still a kick in the gut hearing about Ben. Thinking about it today seems to be just as bad as 13 years ago.

Ben was a God loving man. The strength of his faith kept our team strong. His love for his wife, two young sons and daughter, gave us the privilege of knowing he was trusted and a man of honor.

The following Memorial Day in 2012, his wife Traci captured this image below of his son sitting and staring at his dad. My heart aches for him every time I see it.

Only a few years earlier in 2009, as we were at the end if an Iraq tour, we got notified of Ben’s brother Beau Wise who was a former SEAL and now working for the CIA, was killed by a su***de bomber. Ben went home early to bury him.

Rest in peace brothers!

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Sergeant First Class Benjamin Brian Wise, United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in connection with military operations against an armed hostile force while serving with Company A, 3d Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM in Afghanistan, on 9 January 2012. His gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

There are many great men and women throughout our American history who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We honor all of them today especially, though they are remembered in our hearts and minds forever.
