Hot FM Courtesy/Kassandra Benton A military family relocating to Barksdale Air Force Base in Shreveport is pleading with the nation for help.
Ben and Kassandra Benton packed up everything almost a week ago in South Carolina.
They stopped and stayed at a La Quinta hotel Wednesday in Covington with their daughters Charlotte and Amelia while on their way to Barksdale Air Force Base, “Today” reported.
When they awoke Thursday, the U-Haul they had loaded with everything was gone.
“I went outside around 7 or 8 that morning and was on the phone with one of my good buddies,” Benjamin Benton told “Today.” “I looked up and was like, ‘The U-Haul. Where is it? Oh my god, the U-Haul is gone.’”

As a candidate, Biden expressed apprehension about where such thinking might lead, and in his inaugural address he defined in a single word the trait Americans must summon to meet the challenges of the moment: “unity.”
