Our walk today was dedicated in honor of:
Army Veteran SGT Derek Redmon, Age 33 of Columbus, IN.
Died Jan. 21, 2022
SGT Redmon did two tours in Afghanistan and one tour in Iraq. He was a squad leader for a while. He always protected his squad. He adore his 2 children and was a loving father, friend, and son. He would do anything for you. He loved to fish, hunt. He loved to take his kids on vacations.
His daughter will miss having her father and daughter dance. We will miss his smile and joking around he was always a jokester. He was a fireman in North Carolina till he moved back to Columbus, IN. then he started working as a crane operator.
We had a great day for a wonderful walk. We headed west on Sparta Hwy and took Waterview Drive and walked along Holiday Hills Lake. We then took Tennessee Ave into River Oaks. We stopped and watched the lake from a great view and then we headed on over by the golf course. We took a path and stopped to watch some geese and a couple ducks. It was a quiet and peaceful walk. A beautiful area to walk in. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero today. We had 33 honks. It was amazing.
Army Veteran SGT Derek Redmon will not be forgotten !
