## Resource

A mother’s quiet strength shines at Raleigh’s Oakwood Cemetery as Courtney Chavez pays tribute to her late son, Staff Sergeant Zachary Wood Lyon Junior, who died in a crash at 24 while serving in the Air Force. This was her fourth Memorial Day without him — a day of pride and profound grief. Zachary, a Broughton High graduate and compassionate leader, lives on through her notes at his grave and her active role in American Gold Star Mothers. With two other sons currently serving in the military, Chavez channels her love into community service, honoring her fallen son and supporting others who’ve lost children in uniform.
