McCOOK, Neb. — Sargent Dennis Cabanting once told his mom that the members of the 1074th transportation unit were just like family.
After so many of them showed up to honor him on Saturday, she agreed.
“This was an awesome day,” Day-Najar said. She shared that seeing all the community members waving flags along the streets as she was escorted through the city of McCook by a parade of vehicles, including over 20 motorcycles, police cars, and a fire truck and ambulance, brought her to tears.
