    The support from everyone during this time of great sadness at the loss of this fallen young soldier, Travis, is so awesome and inspiring from the citizens showing support & expressing their sorrow to the military, the law enforcement, the churches, the motorcycle groups and businesses and William @ NoEscambia (I hope I didn’t leave anyone out). Without even knowing it Travis has touched the hearts and lives of so many people. It makes me so proud to be an American and from Esc. Co. FL.
    Rest softly in the arms of God, Travis.
