Cavaco
His Story
Specialist James Cavaco was killed on the Lost Convoy — the harrowing column of vehicles that became separated and lost in the hostile streets of Mogadishu. From Forestdale, Massachusetts, he was 26 years old when he made the ultimate sacrifice. His Bronze Star with Valor Device honors the courage he demonstrated in the chaos of urban combat. His memorial at Queenslake stands among the trees, a quiet and permanent place of remembrance.
