Steve Hunsberger summed up his reaction to the overall event and the support that the community showed. "It made me cry," Hunsberger said. "I think its something our communities really need right now, is just to encourage individuals by just seeing this." The Hunsberger family wanted a way to commemorate Travis within his hometown. They also wanted a way for others in the community to commemorate their loved ones who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
