Travis and I were brothers. We both went to Fort Benning. Same year. And when you wear that blue cord. You are my brother. RIP bro
Perhaps this deserved recognition will make a difference…
I was present at Travis's Funeral Mass and the Cemetery Ceremony. NOTHING says loss like looking straight into the eyes of a mother and try to say anything that can make a difference. Elaine, I pray things are better for you all this day.
TRUMP DISRESPECTS ALL SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN….HE NEVER SERVED THE MILITARY….UGLY COWARD AND ASSHOLE

God speed.. We thank you for your service and sacrifice. I truly hope that the three soldiers he saved go on to live a full productive lives and take hold of the opportunities afforded to them by this heroic sacrifice.
