He, alongside his wife Donna, say seeing so many people come out to honor the fallen was emotional.

“It just solidifies that there is still work to be done to show the nation that there are still people out there that not only serve but that love our country, and so to be given the opportunity to be a part of that we are just honored. Yeah,” Pastor Cliff Rash and Donna Rash, US Military Veterans said.
