Mourning the Loss of William H. Benson

WILLIAM H. BENSON
April 22, 1924 - January 11, 2014
 Bill Benson was one of the five WW II veterans featured in our film and book.  We enjoyed his feisty spirit during the interview and filming process.  Viewers of the film frequently comment on his response to the question, "What made the Greatest Generation great?" His story of surviving the sinking of TWO Navy destroyers is a remarkable one.  Bill continued to serve his country and community following the war.  He was a Baltimore Police Office and remained active in the VFW, where he devoted hundreds of hours of service.  We will miss, you Bill.
