Another great trooper has left us today, 16 September 2006. Ben served in "H" Company the entire conflict. Bennett M. Guthrie authored "Three Winds of Death" which he dedicated to "that gallant breed of man, the paratrooper, both past and present, but most humbly, respectfully, and reverently to our buddies who fell in mortal combat with the common enemy." Of it he wrote, "that it relates our origins, our dreams, our prayers, and our victories. It relates our fears and frustrations. The 503d Paratroopers have witnessed their Armageddon. . .they have walked through the Valley of the Shadow of Death." Ben's post-war years were spent teaching science classes in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
