It is quiet, steady and enduring,\u201d said Col. Michael J. Childs, the garrison commander at Fort Huachuca, during the installation\u2019s Memorial Day ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>For Childs, Memorial Day is a deliberate pause from everyday life \u2014 a chance to refocus on sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe days where the busyness of our lives can start to take over, moments like these and places like these and hallowed ground really help set aside that moment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This year, volunteers and service members placed flags and crosses at more than 4,500 gravestones across the Post Cemetery. The markers represent generations of service \u2014 from the Revolutionary War through today \u2014 and serve as a visible reminder of lives lost in defense of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Childs said ceremonies like this are personal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember those comrades of mine that we\u2019ve left behind,\u201d he said. \u201cIn those moments is when I have given my undivided attention to them and their stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among those honored is Chris Moon, a U.S. Army sniper who was shot and killed in Afghanistan in 2010.
