"Ben was a sweet awesome guy. A little shy in high school but was always willing to talk to you if you wanted to talk to him. He was in my history class and that's when I really got to know him. I learned how much he loved our country and how much he wanted to be in the army. Our dads were buddies so it made it easy to talk to him. I don't know what made me think of him after all these years. He's not forgotten and never will be. RIP Ben ... You maybe gone from this earth but your still protecting everyone on it. My condolences to his family."
Kristin M Woody of Oakdale, CA

"Several years ago I ordered a remembrance bracelet and it had Bens name on it, I think about him every year on the anniversary of his death, I hope to one day meet his two kids and his wife. This soldier will never be forgotten by me."

"I remember you Ben, all of our troubles, missions, the days we were in, you did good things, we talked one day during chow of what we had done as civilians, and what we would do one day again. It was the last time you and me talked as such, then a day or two later you were gone. A father, a husband, a good man. I took it hard. How could this be. See you on the other side."
Scott Davis of Waldport, OR

"Thank you Ben. Thank you for your friendship while we worked together at the lumber yard in Dallas, Oregon. But mostly thank you for your service and sacrifice to our nation and its future. I think about you often; espcecially the time when we tried canoeing the Santiam River together during flood stages and we sank the boat! Very fond memories of you."
Carlin Irish of Beaverton, Oregon

"Isenbergs - Ben comes to mind often, and I always pray for you, Rachel, and the kids. God bless you and stay safe."

"To the family and friends of Sgt. Benjamin Isenberg: I'd like to let you know about an event taking place this Saturday, June 14th in Topeka, KS called The Reading. We will be reading the names of the fallen from Iraq and Afghanistan. It should take approximately 6 hours to complete. Sgt. Isenberg is on my list and I'd like to tell you it will be an honor. I thank him for serving our country and will never forget the sacrifice he made to keep this country a better place and preserve our freedom. Veterans@netzero.com"

"On one mission oustide the wire, when things were quiet, we were sharing dreams and then analyzing them. Ben had dreamt that he was not able to help his family in a time of need. We determined it showed how he cared more for his family's well-being then his own, even when in Iraq. I looked up to him after that and will forever do so."
Josh Groesz, a battle buddy of Portland, OR

"To the Isenberg family: Your son, husband, and father is a true hero and patriot. During those tougher times, try and remember all of those countless people that Ben has positively influenced as a role model and mentor. Though I've never personally met Ben, I know that he lived a very good, purposeful, and meaningful life. Even though he has been called home, he is still with you and will continue to be a great source of strength for you and many others."
LtCol Bill Mackey, USMC and Family of Okinawa, Japan

I send my seepest condolences for Ben's Loss. I went to Western with him and we had a couple of Geography courses together. Big Ben was a good man and had good values. I only knew him for a little while, but his memory will stay with me forever. Thank you for your Sacrifice. God Bless."

"To LTC Isenberg and family:
May Ben rest in honored and well deserved glory. A soldier known not only by God, but also by many fine Americans from sea to shining sea. As Jesus so eloquently said at the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapter 5) "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the Sons of God". Fallen heroes such as your son Ben died not in vain, but lives on as tribute to the oppression of tyranny and injustice like so many gone before him in our nation's history."
Mike Bigjoe of Lacey, WA

"To Benjamin's family and friends, I was never priviledged to know Benjamin, but I did know David Weisenburg, the courageous man with whom Benjamin lost his life. From the wonderful articles that were written about both Dave and Benjamin, I can tell that he was a kind, gentle, loving man who loved his country and his family and is dearly missed. Please know that you are in my prayers. Know that Ben and Dave died as heroes; they sure are my heroes."
Margaret of Portland, OR

You are a true hero and we all miss you. We will never forget you.
