A stone at the foot of a crape myrtle in the Warriors Walk on Fort Stewart, Georgia, marks the tree planted in tribute to Sgt. 1st Class Alwyn Cashe, Dec. 19, 2020. Cashe attempted the rescue of seven Soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter from a burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle in Oct. 2005 and posthumously received the Silver Star Medal for his actions that ultimately took his life. The coin left there by a visitor ensures the fallen Soldier’s family knows that someone stopped to pay respects, with the quarter likely indicating that the visitor was present when the Soldier died.
