Memorial Day weekend can be one of the toughest times of the year for veterans and families who have lost a loved one during combat.
“That was a sad day. We only had one survivor from the crew,” Rodriguez said.“Every time Memorial Day comes up, it’s like, ‘Oh my God.’ What happened that day was terrible,” Rodriguez said.“We have one sacred obligation, and that is to honor those who have fallen and to care for the families when they don’t return home,” Nirenberg said.
Veteran Michael Barnes said Memorial Day weekend includes remembering the soldiers who died by suicide.“Since we have so many suicides…those who survived the trauma but couldn’t deal with it at the end. We like to honor those as well,” Barnes said.“Take your family on a drive through Fort Sam National Cemetery, observe, be quiet and have your children see and understand the sacrifices people have made for this country,” Trevino said.
