Mark Kay Edwards received the Elks Medal of Valor for her son Billy, who died in Iraq in 2007. He spent two years at Texas A&M before joining the army. "For them to remember us and give us something special for Billy, it just makes it all the more special," she said. "He was a great kid for us. But knowing that everybody else remembers him and honors him, you know that just makes us feel good."
