Family and Friends of Benjamin, please accept the condolences of the Troopers of the 11th Armored Cavalry's veterans of Vietnam and Cambodia.  Ben was a dedicated and hard-charging warrior, one of us, one of our own. He served courageously with the Legendary Blackhorse Regiment with B Troop.  Trooper Washington will be remembered as an honorable trooper whose very presence brought comfort and support to his fellow troopers. He will be included on the Honor Role of our combat veterans as his service highlighted his bravery and valor and was guided with the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.  As grateful Americans we should all pause and salute a man who was willing to put his life on the line for his country.   As our burial liturgy states: “ … his life has not ended, merely changed ..." and as we were together then in Vietnam, we will be together again in the life hereafter, warmly embraced in the arms of our Heavenly Father.     Chaplain Bill, 11th ACVVC (Vietnam 71-72)

So saddened to hear of the passing of my PM and friend. Going to miss hearing your voice and laughter but God knows best. My condolences goes out to Ernestine and family. Everytime I look to the East I be thinking about you. RIH my brother until we meet again.

Ou Prayers and Sympathy are with The Washington Family doing this difficult time. May God strengthen each of You .   Jerlean S Hawkins and Family.  Glendora,Ms38928
