For most military families, Memorial Day is a holiday marked by quiet moments of reflection, but for widows like Ashley Southard, Memorial Day is every day.

Southard lost her husband, U.S. Army Sergeant Andrew “Andy” Southard, on November 10, 2023, during a routine air refueling mission with Special Forces Unit 160th SOAR in the Mediterranean Sea. He was 27.
 

Each year, SGT Southard is honored at the Fort Campbell Boots Display Memorial, a powerful visual memorial for those who paid the ultimate price – but a new base policy intends to halt the somber display altogether.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It would be like pulling the guards from the Tomb of the Unknowns and replacing them with cameras.
