Benjamin Edinger Scholarship of Honor
United States Marine Sgt.
Benjamin Edinger, 24, Green Bay, WI
Following his 1999 graduation from Green Bay West High School, Ben attended college at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. After a year in school, he joined the Marines. He served one tour of duty in Iraq and went back for a second tour when he was injured. Doctors thought he would heal so he could pursue his educational plan of becoming a veterinarian, but his injuries proved to be too much.
