Benjamin Bourdet

French Special Forces Commando, Benjamin Bourdet, age 30, died in on July 14, 2011, in the Kapisa, Afghanistan, in a clash against insurgents.

Benjamin was born in Cherbourg and joined the Navy in 2003. He joined Commando Group Jaubert in Lorient in 2008.

Father, put Benjamin on
the Stairway to Heaven
He served on four missions in New Caledonia and also in Djibouti and in the fight against piracy in the area of the Indian Ocean.

Military officials describe him as  having camaraderie and being enthusiastic. They also stated that he had composure during difficult times. 

He had previously received the gold and silver medals of National Defence.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Benjamin Bourdet is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
