February 1, 2017Press ReleaseThe Memorial for the 14 Fallen Defenders at MacDill AFB
On January 31, 2017, 8 years from when Lt. Helton was "boots on the ground" in Iraq, "In Defense of Freedom" was dedicated to the 14 Fallen Defenders since 09/11. Retired Colonel Dennis Keegan initiated the project in the fall of 2015, by commissioning the statue that sits atop the granite base. With the help of Darwin Bush who made the majority of the contacts, Dick Danner of Danner construction donated the concrete for the base and sidewalk, and the brick, Ted Freeman of Danner construction donated labor and oversaw the construction.

The day was overcast and occasionally a little misty - just the way LT(Joe, Joseph) liked it. Tony Price headed up the ceremony, the AFJROTC GA 956 provided the Color Guard, Joanne Nucci did an amazing rendition of the National Anthem, and the Monroe High School Band honored all branches of service with the Armed Forces Medley. The opening prayer was led by Reverend Dane Wagner. Speakers Kevin Little, Jody Hice, US 10th District Representative, and Bruce Williamson, GA 115 District Representative, and (BG)(Ret) Steven E. Blanton, US Army, all spoke eloquently and from the heart.
