    Steve is remembered by so many Gold Star families, Co B 506th brothers and his Mother Jo, sisters Jennifer Tarvin, Cynthia Lance and Briggett Garrett. My husband, Dave, and I meet them at the Co B reunions and the Mountain Man Memorial March. I think the girls wish they had been given their Gold Star Pins when their Mother received hers in 2010. All should have received them in 1970 but there are many GSF’s who never received them. Not sure why but I encourage all to obtain the paperwork and send it in to get the pin that reminds all the sacrifice of their fallen hero and that the family continues to experience because of the loss. Steve was an honorable man with a very supportive family. We will always cherish his family and remember his sacrifice.
