Maj. Gen. Antonio Aguto, the commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division, secures a wreath at the Wreaths for Warriors Walk on Fort Stewart, Georgia, Dec. 19, 2020, for the tree dedicated to Sgt. 1st Class Alwyn Cashe, while the fallen Soldier’s sisters, Bernadine (left), and Kasinal Cashe observe. Cashe retrieved seven Soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter from a burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle in Oct. 2005. Cashe posthumously received the Silver Star Medal for his actions that ultimately took his life and is being considered to receive the Medal of Honor, the U.S. military’s highest award for gallantry and bravery. A member of Cashe's family has participated in the Wreaths for Warriors Walk every year since its inception in 2007. Bernadine Cashe recalled that the original trees planted were eastern redbuds that were replaced by hardier crape myrtle trees and she keeps the ashes of the original tree in honor of her brother.
