Ms Stephenson, I really don't know what to say but I feel I must say something. Seeing the story of your son and hearing of the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country touched me very deeply. Then to go even further and give others the chance to live a better life with his generous donations is just more than could be expected. I can't imagine how you must feel to lose such a wonderful son but I know you are very proud of him. I'm very thankful for all the young people that serve to protect and defend our country, thank you for Ben's service. You yourself are to be commended, I would have never been able to what you have done so publicly. Ben was lucky to have you for his mother. You are an inspiration. David Williamson
