Honor your hero with thoughts, memories, images and stories.
It has been 54 years since my bother, Bennie Lee Dexter, was taken as a POW on May 9, 1966 is Vietnam. Bennie is still one of the many unaccounted for. I think of him and miss him every day. You are and will always be in my "heart".
To his sister: I have laid a wreath on your brother's grave site for the past 3 years during Wreaths Across America Ceremony. I am always deeply touched by his loss. I was born 3 weeks after him and I have the same middle name as his younger brother. I went into the service a month after Bennie and completed my service the year he was declared MIA. I grieve with you.
Many years ago (50+), my Mom, sister and I were sent bracelets representing Vietnam war POW/MIA soldiers. I was very young so I do not know the process to which my Mom sent for these. My Mom passed away last year and in her belongings she had saved her bracelet (picture attached) of the Air Force veteran: S/SGT Bennie Dexter. I would love to return this bracelet to the family if they would like. It may give you/them comfort to know, so many years ago, this beautiful soldier was prayed for and remembered. 702 277-1027
