This is a representation of just a fraction of the cost of our freedom. Our liberty was purchased at too high a price to surrender it to any agenda or special interest.

Their sacrifice, our guiding cause.

In quiet solemnity we stand,Upon this hallowed ground,Where memories, like whispers, spanThrough ages that surround. Each name engraved, a sacred threadThat binds the past to now,In hearts, the echoes of the dead,Their legacy, we vow. On this fourth of May, we pause,To honor those who fell,Their sacrifice, our guiding cause,Their stories, we retell. In fields of peace or oceans deep,Their…

#Repost @deptvetaffairs • • • • • • Army Air Force Staff Sergeant Travis Nash was a radio operator with the 506th Bomber Squadron, 44th Bomber Group. He was the youngest of 10 children born in Paris, Tennessee. In a story, his mother Edna said that “He was kind and gentle, and he just worshipped his mother.” She also said, “My husband and I took him to the bus the day he went into the service. Your grandfather [speaking to Nash’s niece] gave him $30, and I remember how he hugged and kissed everybody goodbye. When he got to your grandmother [Nash’s mother], he just clung to her and wept and wept. We could hardly get him to turn loose." Nash’s niece, Alanna Nash, has greatly invested her time and emotion into piecing together what happened leading up to and during Travis Nash’s military career. Alanna connected with the adopter of Nash’s grave, Maria Pittie, who is a volunteer for the Faces of Margraten, an initiative that pays tribute to Veterans by decorating their graves. Maria Pittie volunteered to decorate Nash’s grave at the Netherlands American Cemetery in the Dutch town of Margraten. On April 5, 1945, Nash sent a high frequency radio report saying his plane was getting bombarded with flak, an anti-aircraft projectile shot by a cannon, over Germany. The pilot called back to his radioman: “It's gettin’ pretty hot back there, isn't it, Nash?” Nash’s aircraft, a B-24 nicknamed “Tinker Belle,” had taken a direct hit. Nash was killed in action during the bombing mission about a month before the end of the war. The plane lost altitude and was found with three damaged engines. Nash went down with the plane. The rest of the crew evacuated before the crash and were immediately captured as prisoners of war. In 2005, Nash’s grave was adopted by Pittie and she has tended to it with her son Stefan. It was not until earlier this year that Maria Pittie and Alanna Nash were able to connect via Skype after years of trying to find each other. They now consider each other extended family and hope to meet in person someday. We honor his service. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwzhXIvt5v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
