I had the distinct honor of meeting this American Hero when I was in high school. He served with the assistant SAI in my high schools ROTC program in Vietnam. He was in the 5th Special Forces and a was the keynote speaker at our Military Ball in 1983. He was very humble and reserved. He never bragged about his exploits and if it hadn't been for the person who announced him, no one would've known all that this brave soldier had accomplished. I shook his hand and took a picture with him. He gave me advice that ive carried with me through Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, & Enduring Freedom. The same advice I gave my son when he joined the Marines and went to Syria! He never once referred to himself as a Hero although by definition, he was one. I was very saddened when I heard of his passing. Rest easy Sgt. Youve done your duty and are relieved. I'll see you at the Rally Point! God Bless

I saw his photos at West Point when he had visited West Point. I was deployed with a battalion of 101st Airborne (Air Assault) soldiers to train cadets during the summer of 1983. What a Soldier this man was. I'm so glad he was on our side.

I just saw the speech this incredible humble warrior gave, and i think what i am seeing in the NFL and through out this great country, i cry as i write this. This is one man of many, who put it all on the real line. Not a line with a goal post in the back of it. But one with, a barrier that few men have the courage or the desire to ever cross. I went through the last draft of that war, scared to death, that i would be one of the young men chosen to go and fight in a war i did not believe in. Would i have gone, yes. Would i have been scared, yes, do i think i could have done what this man did, no. But many i have spoken to of this war, told me, you don't know the heart you have, when you see a fellow American shot, and needs help, what you are capable of. I know that i have read many stories of men like him, and i stand in awe, and honor such a man. When i see thumbs down, it makes my blood boil to the point of rage, as what kind of person could do that, and be a American. I guess that is what this country is becoming. Master Sergeant Benavidez, i hear you have passed away, and i have said a prayer for you and the people who loved you, and served with you. You are truly one of my Hero's. If our country would act more like you, and less like what i see in the NFL, how greater could this nation become. I salute you.

You can see him reliving that day in his eyes as Reagan tells his amazingly heroic story, when he speaks of Benavidez hand to hand fight with that one vietcong who struck him from behind you can tell that image of killing him haunted him almost daily. Truly an inspiration of devotion, leadership , courage and all the other things that make men great .
