Guest speaker Ben King, a Purple Heart recipient and the Virginia War Memorial Operations Director, pauses during a speech to a crowd of Fort Gregg-Adams community members, Soldiers and veterans as part of the Fort Gregg-Adams 2024 Army Heritage Month Observance June 6, the 80th anniversary of D-Day, at the Beaty Theater, Fort Gregg-Adams, Va. After having been awarded the Purple Heart, King said that in his post-war experience—after a 2006 deployment during the Iraq surge that included injuries received from an IED explosion—he took a deeper look into what it meant to be a modern warrior. “Who we are as defenders of freedom requires generation after generation to stand up and be ready to defend that which is required for us to be free,” King said.
