Street Designation Honors Fallen Garfield Heights Soldiers
Members of the Garfield Heights community have honored the sacrifice of two hometown soldiers killed in the line of duty by naming a street after them.
Davis-Benjamin Way commemorates the lives of Army Spc. Brad A. Davis, a corporal in the 82nd Airborne, Parachute Infantry Regiment, killed on April 22, 2009 in Iraq; and Marine Gunnery Sgt. Adam F. Benjamin of the 8th Engineer Support Battalion, killed on Aug. 18, 2009 in Afghanistan.
We know these families’ lives have been forever affected by the loss of their loved ones in far away lands,” said Mayor Vic Collova.
“Our community wants to honor these brave, fallen soldiers and commemorate their lives and the ultimate sacrifice made in the name of freedom and democracy.”
Both men were Garfield Heights High School graduates.
