I took the time to stop and visit Travis’ memorial in the park. Such a beautiful place to preserve his legacy. He is one of two stops that I visit on Memorial Day weekend, the other being Oliver Hawthorne (ww2) in the Concord Cemetery. Remembering LCPL Nelson among our nation’s heroes. You are not forgotten, brother. Semper Fi, Marine. Til Valhalla

Dear Beckie,
Your precious Travis will never be forgotten by me or the Pace High School Patriots. He lives forever in our hearts, in our hallways, in our display cases, in our classrooms, and in our Celebrations of America that we have named in memory of NJROTC Instructor; Commander Sam Vickers. Your son is and always will be the epitome of a Brave Soldier, a True Patriot, an Amazing Young Man, and a Truly Revered Hero who gave his life for his country. My heart was broken when Commander Vickers came to deliver the news. Thank-you for allowing Pace High School to honor Travis. He and fellow Patriot Heroes; Kevin Ellenburg, Daniel McCall, and Kevin Conway will always hold special places in our hearts and minds. I thank God for the courage shown by these four young men and for fighting in the name of the United States of America.
May God Bless you and give peace to all families who have lost a loved one in the name of defending this Great Nation…….As the old country song goes; God, Please Bless America Again……. With my sincerest respect and patriotism, Stephanie

The day Lance Cpl. Travis Nelson came home, I was honored to stand with the students of Ernest Ward Middle School, where he attended school. I will never forget that experience with those students. You could have heard a pin drop during the escort as each student, faculty member and parent held a flag or a hand over their heart. Thank you Marine! And a Semper Fi from my Vietnam Vet Marine.

Beckie, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Although the loss of Travis deeply saddens us, we are so very grateful for the sacrifice he willing made. He was honored and remembered this morning by our Young Marines this morning at a Sunrise Service in Veterans Park. We will continue to ensure his memory and sacrifice lives on.
