"Plymouth remembers hero - a fallen soldier; Sergeant killed in Afghanistan" by John Guilfoil, Globe Correspondent | November 19, 2009
PLYMOUTH - US Army Sergeant Benjamin Sherman made his final journey home yesterday morning.
The procession bringing the 21-year-old soldier’s casket from Hanscom Air Force Base was met by onlookers paying their respects as it made its way through Plymouth. The motorcade traveled past Plymouth Rock and a picturesque beachfront, through the quiet residential neighborhood where Sherman grew up, and stopped at Davis Funeral Home.
Flags flying at half-staff waved in the sea breeze, and the route was decorated with yellow ribbons. Restaurant sandwich boards bore messages honoring Sherman, including one that read, “Thank you, Ben.’’
Sherman was a paratrooper with the Fourth Brigade Combat Team of the 82d Airborne Division. He disappeared with a fellow soldier Nov. 4, when they jumped into a river in western Afghanistan in an attempt to recover supplies. Reports indicate Sherman may have jumped into the water to aid the other soldier, who appeared to be struggling against the current. An intensive military search began for the two men after the Taliban released a statement saying they had the bodies of the servicemen. The Taliban later retracted that statement.
Who knows what to believe when it comes to the U.S. military and the AmeriKan MSM? They have lied so often that anything "report" is suspect; the "revised" and "official" explanations only makes things worse.
Sherman graduated from Plymouth South High School in 2006 and was remembered by friends as a lover of music, tattoos, paintball, and cycling. He was about to become a father. Sherman’s wife, Patricia, 21, is expecting the couple’s first child in March.
At the Cuisine of Mark Connolly restaurant, clerk Jill Davin, a Manomet native, held back tears as she recalled Sherman. She and her co-workers knew his family.
“It’s emotional,’’ she said. “He sacrificed his life for us....’’
No he didn't; he sacrificed it for lies and empire.
Outside their home in Manomet, Sherman’s family greeted reporters, but politely said they would have no comment.

"Hero paratrooper mourned, remembered in Plymouth" by Brian R. Ballou, Globe Staff | November 21, 2009
PLYMOUTH - And then the fallen soldier’s pregnant wife, Patricia Sherman, stood in front of the church. As she used a handkerchief to dab at the tears flowing down her cheeks, she said: “If Ben was here right now, he’d be saying wipe those tears from your cheeks and have a drink for him. I want to thank Denise and Bill for bringing your only son into the world.’’
This kind of crap is just busting me up inside.
Pregnant wife? Only son? Aaaaaaahhhh!!!
On and on it goes and no end in sight.
Under a constant rain, Sherman’s flag-draped coffin traveled to the church yesterday through the streets of Plymouth in a white horse-drawn carriage....
Sherman was posthumously promoted to sergeant and was awarded the Bronze Star and two other medals.
Oh, well, that makes it all worth it, right?
The service lasted about 90 minutes, and then the coffin was carried to Manomet Cemetery, about 400 feet behind the church, for burial.
And thus another life is laid to rest at the altar of government lies.
HOW MANY of YOUR SONS and DAUGHTERS are you going to bury until ENOUGH is ENOUGH, America?
WHERE ARE YOU?
