KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – It has been three years since Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Knauss gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Knauss, a Corryton native, was one of 13 servicemembers killed in the deadly Kabul airport bombing during the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan on Aug. 26, 2021.

In the three years since he was killed, East Tennessee has continued to honor and remember Knauss.
In the months after his death, a pedestrian bridge was planned to be built and named after him at Gibbs High School, his alma mater.
Work was set to begin on the project earlier this year, but Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs said it was delayed.

The bridge, when complete, will go across Tazewell Pike between Gibbs Middle and Gibbs High schools.
The nonprofit Respect and Remember Foundation, also known as R2Factor, has helped honor and remember Knauss with several community events, including raising money for the Gibbs High School JROTC, the Tennessee Fallen Heroes Hike and Ride and the Mountain Man Memorial March.
The University of Tennessee and Gibbs High School have both honored Knauss with scholarships named after him.
Rep. Tim Burchett also introduced a bill earlier this year in response to Knauss’s death that would require the secretary of state to make three reports to distribute to the necessary congressional committees.
Burchett said part of the reason he introduced the bill was because Knauss died during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying back in June that “We need to make sure our tax dollars don’t go towards terrorists who killed Americans.”

The bill passed the House and was introduced in the Senate, where it needs to pass in order to be sent to the president to be signed into law.
Knauss was also honored on Friday with his name being inscribed on a monument in World’s Fair Park that honors service members from East Tennessee who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Also on Friday, a parking spot at Nine Line Apparel in Pigeon Forge was dedicated to Knauss. It includes a QR Code that can be scanned to learn more about Knauss’s life and his ultimate sacrifice.
Honoring and remembering Knauss has gone beyond East Tennessee, with events that have been held recently in Kentucky and North Carolina.

Titans DB Suffers Injury vs. Saints
![Titans DB Suffers Injury vs. Saints Titans DB Suffers Injury vs. Saints](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_3523,h_1981,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/all_titans/01j65e4w557nszthgx46.jpg)
The Tennessee Titans have suffered a few injuries in the secondary during training camp, and the position group racked up another one in the first half against the New Orleans Saints.
Defensive back Elijah Molden had to be helped by trainers off the field after making a tackle on Saints tight end Michael Jacobson. According to team reporter Jim Wyatt, he is being evaluated for a concussion.
It remains to be seen whether Molden will return for the game, but given the fact that the Titans are still in the preseason, it wouldn’t be a surprise for him to stay on the sidelines for the rest of the afternoon as a precaution.
Molden, 25, is entering the fourth and final season of his rookie contract. He was drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Molden started eight games for the Titans last season recording a career-high 73 tackles and an interception for a touchdown.
Despite Molden’s success last season, the Titans felt it was necessary to bring in some other safeties to the roster. The team signed Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs earlier in training camp, and the two of them are expected to be ahead of Molden on the depth chart.
Molden has the ability to play both cornerback and safety, making him a valuable part of the unit. That’s why his health is super important, because the Titans can utilize him in multiple spots depending on which others get hurt.
L’Jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie, the team’s starting cornerbacks, have been injured throughout the majority of training camp, so Molden has gotten a considerable amount of reps at that spot.
Regardless of where Molden plays, he plays a key role for the Titans, and the team needs him to heal up and get ready to face the Chicago Bears in the season opener in two weeks’ time.

More than 100 rabbits have been rescued from a home in Tennessee after an “overwhelmed” owner asked for help rehoming them.
On Tuesday, Aug. 20, the Humane Society of the United States and the McKamey Animal Center arrived at the residence in Chattanooga, where they found the homeowner and the large number of animals “living in extremely unsanitary conditions,” per a press release.
“The rabbits appeared to suffer from a variety of ailments including flea infestations, hair loss and injuries typical of overcrowding,” the press release stated, adding that “multiple nursing litters and rabbits of various ages were found burrowing in furniture throughout the residence.”
Veterinarians, according to the press release, indicated that several rabbits could also be pregnant.

According to the press release, the owner of the home took care of pet rabbits for more than 30 years, but his ability to properly supervise them declined after he suffered “a health crisis.”
After the number of the animals grew in size, the owner reached out to the McKamey Animal Center, which requested the assistance of the Humane Society of the United States, for help.

Veterinarians are currently conducting “in-depth exams” of the rabbits, who will “receive flea treatment, topical eye medication to treat infections and any treatment for any other medical issues identified,” the Humane Society of the United States said.
“After a flurry of activity during the rescue operation, we enjoyed starting our day watching the bunnies nibble on their hay, burrow in their bedding, snuggle with their littermates and explore their environment,” said Audra Houghton, director of operations for the Humane Society of the United States’ animal rescue team. “We are looking forward to getting a more clear picture of their health status as we conduct in-depth veterinary exams.”

In an interview with the Humane Society of the United States that was seen by PEOPLE, the homeowner explained that his first rabbit saved his life and helped his sobriety.
He also said that a conversation with a friend led him to eventually ask for help in rehoming the animals in his residence.
“The key thing for me, though, with all these guys is to know they’re finding good safe homes. That’s all I’ve ever wanted,” said the caregiver.
“That’s what I try to picture with these guys leaving — it’s the best for everybody,” he added of the rabbits being rehomed after getting medical treatment.
