WAKARUSA, Ind. — The parents of a northern Indiana soldier
killed in Afghanistan got an emotional, surprise honor of their
son’s sacrifice when a school choir ended a performance with a song
dedicated to his memory.
As Tuesday night’s spring concert at NorthWood High School
ended, a uniformed Marine presented a plaque with the song’s lyrics
to Steve and Ronda Hunsberger. The choir then performed “To Those
Who Serve” in memory of 24-year-old Army Staff Sgt. Travis K.
Hunsberger, who died in 2008.
Because Ronda Hunsberger is a music assistant at the school, the
seventh- and eighth-grade choir students learned the song in March,
when she visited Fort Bragg, N.C., to attend a ceremony for
Travis.
