R.I.P. Army Staff Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington
The family of a U.S. service member who died in combat during the conflict in Iran was seen gathering in Fort Knox, Kentucky, on Friday as his body was brought to Godman Airfield for a dignified transfer. Army Staff Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, 26, was from Glendale.
He was the seventh U.S. service member to die in the conflict, succumbing to his injuries a week after being wounded during a March 1 attack on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, according to the Pentagon.
Thank you Staff Sgt. Pennington for your ultimate sacrifice. Prayers for your family, friends, and brother and sisters in the Army.
