The Music Remembers Project honored fallen soldier Ryan Pertiles at CMA Fest in Nashville, where his family received a symbolic "guitar of honor." This tribute was organized by the nonprofit Memories of Honor. Pertile's mother expressed gratitude for the support from other families who have experienced loss. Country artists Tayler Holder and Noah Hunton participated, with Holder sharing emotional stories about Ryan. Amy Cotta, founder of Memories of Honor, emphasized the importance of preserving the stories and legacies of service members.
To be with other families who have lost, to feel like you're not alone, we're so honored.
I never got the chance to meet Ryan, but the stories I've heard truly touch my heart.
They were more than a name, or a date etched in stone. It's up to us to make sure their stories and their legacies live on.
