Prayers for his family. What a good man to do this. I’m so sorry he didn’t make it. Another hero in heaven.

Our paper did a compilation of photos on Wednesday, when Sgt. Sherman came home to Plymouth from Hanscom AFB. We all came out to honor the fallen hero. The streets were lined for miles as his body took a final tour of all the places he so loved in Plymouth. May God rest his soul and bless his wife Tricia and their unborn child.

One of the ladies in the Massachusetts MOM group mentioned Ben in a post a couple of weeks ago, just after he went missing. He truly laid down his life for a friend.
