Jacob Helms with the Hickory Recruiting Station.
Hickory Recruiting Station had a young man named Jacob Helms who came into the office who is suffering from multiple brain aneurisms and brittle bone disease. He wanted to apply through the Make-A Wish Foundation to Be a Soldier for a day. Sadly, he is too old for the program, (20yrs), and came to us to see if he could still meet some Soldiers. The Station Commander SFC Thomas Mease introduced him to the Soldiers of the Hickory Recruiting Station and introduced him to the Navy recruiters across the hall. SFC Mease also invited him to the Newton Police Department National Night Out where the young man met the Swat team and got a tour of some U.S. Army and police equipment. SFC Mease and his team just thought it was a unique opportunity to help someone and wanted to share this great news story.
