Col. Kevin J. Lambert, the deputy commanding general-sustainment of the 3rd Infantry Division, poses with the Gold Star Family members of Sgt. 1st Class Alwyn Cashe during the Wreaths for Warriors Walk event on Fort Stewart, Georgia, Dec. 18, 2021. Cashe retrieved seven Soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter from a burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle in Oct. 2005 and posthumously received the Medal of Honor, the U.S. military’s highest award for gallantry and bravery, this year on Dec. 16. 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.
