Travis Attaway will always be remember by his family, friends and fellow agents. On the one year anniversary of his death, he was honored with a monument near the site where the accident happened.
This was a special tribute to a very special young man. He was a hero trying to save his friend and comrade, but this was something that Travis would have done for anyone who needed his help.
We will miss you always Trav.
