This Memorial Day and every day, JCS Nashville remembers SFC Ofren Arrechaga and SPC Anthony Vargas, loving husbands and fathers to our Gold Star wives Seana and Luisa and their children. We also remember JCS Nashville hero CPL Jeremy Voels, who passed away in 2021 from injuries sustained during the war, and 1LT Frank Walkup, brother of JCS Nashville hero Franz Walkup.

We honor the countless husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, parents, and friends who have given their lives in service to our country over the last 250 years, and we remain eternally grateful for the freedoms secured through their ultimate sacrifice. Freedom is not free, and at JCS Nashville, we strive to remember and honor the fallen while supporting those who continue to bear the cost of war.

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to support JCS Nashville at our annual Steve Tidwell Shoot For The Troops this past weekend! We had beautiful weather and such a fun afternoon of friendly competition and fundraising for our local combat-wounded heroes and Gold Star families - many of whom got to join us Saturday. Special thanks to our sponsors and volunteers who made this event possible! Team photos are on our Facebook and we’d love for you to tag us in your photos and videos from the weekend! Your support is valuable and we are incredibly grateful. Can’t wait to see you at next year’s shoot!
