Reflections for Night Marshal Benjamin B. Schmitt

You will never be forgotten. Your son Bernard, my father missed you and told me about you when I was growing up. He was only 8 years old when you were taken away.
Rest in Peace, Grandfather.

You will be remembered forever now that your name is on the memorial wall in Washington. The stories I heard about you when I was a kid I will never forget. You were well respected by the community and loved by your family. I salute you, great grandfather, and all of our fallen heroes this Memorial Day weekend. RIP B.B. Schmitt.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 96th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.
