decwriter Posted June 30, 2018 Share #3 Posted June 30, 2018 I met a fellow OV-10 driver in 2003 who wrote a supporting narrative, which was instrumental in Capt Bennett receiving the Medal of Honor. I like the OV-10 Bronco and used to work on them as well. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted July 19, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 19, 2018 This is the type of incident that non-military people just don't understand. He was the OIC of his craft, he could have safely ejected, survived but would have to live every day with the thought that he left his subordinate to die in the craft. He chose to attempt to save his subordinate. (Reminds me of John 15:13) I choose to believe he will be further rewarded. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
