We honor and thank U.S. Marine Corps Lance Corporal Erik Heldt for defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others.

​Erik inspires us with this recollection from his brother, Matt Heldt:
“He thought protecting our way of life was definitely the right thing to do. He paid the ultimate price for us to go to church on Sunday morning or to go grocery shopping after work.”
