I went to high school with him, after that we kinda lost touch but when ever I saw him we would talk, still cool with one another. Come to find out today he was killed in Iraq. I have been lucky so far, I have had about 5+ friends from High school go to Iraq or Afghanistan and three of my fraternity brothers and so far all have come back or are still alive. I guess that good luck ran out. RIP Ben Garrison

 

I'm sorry to hear that.

 

RIP.

I'll pray for his family tonight.

Sorry to hear! my son leaves next week for boot camp, then Iraq first next year! He is my only son!! I pray all the time!

 

I'm very sorry to hear that. I too have lost some friends in the war, and it is never the asses that die always the great ones. The first friend I lost was Wes Canning he was possible the nicest person I have ever met, and is remembered by all who knew him.

Beard I wish the absolute best for you and your son!!!

Very sorry to hear that. I bet his memorial service over there was very sobering. I went to a few of them over there.

Do you know where he was stationed, which camp?

 

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. My brother just made it back thursday from his tour there. 1st Cavalry out of Ft Hood. Gonna post up some of his pics from there later. But I prayed every day he and everyone there made it back to their family.

 

1st Squadron, 71st Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, Fort Drum, N.Y.

 

RIP GI Garrison. What a sacrifice.

I'm sorry for your loss.

 

Do you know where he was located at in Iraq? Was he in Baghdad or another camp somewhere else?

Once again, sorry to hear it and sorry for his family's loss.

 

He was killed in Amerli

 

:rip:

 

Very sorry to hear.

I had to reserve unit shipmates come back from active recall and commit suicide back in '03. One of them was my best friend in the unit. It sucks.

 

+1. I leave out on the 29th

 

Damn Neil that sucks, sorry bro.

 

Sorry about the loss of your friend. I have a pretty good amount of friends over in Iraq right now.. Also two Uncle's and a couple of my cousins.

 

Im very sorry to hear that. Lost my best friend on December 14, 2006, he was a Marine serving in Iraq.

 

RIP!

Wish his family and friends the best!

 

Just wanted to say thank you to your friend, his family and all those over there and those going over there for their great sacrifice towards our freedom!!

God Bless and God Speed!!!
