Sounds of Service Series - Part 2 of 2
This episode is DEDICATED to Mr. Gene Fuller of Hall County, GA, born 1923, passed 2017 - a true hero to our nation, ... and to his family. What a fine grandson you have, Sir.
Wow.
Where to even begin?
You may have to just sit and listen to this one, folks...there is a lot to unpack and digest in this featured episode for Veterans Day 2024.
How lucky we are to have the caliber of individual we have in Clay Fuller.
From the banks of the Chattahoochee to Timbuktu - this little fella and he ain't so little, towers in to any space he wants. Making Granddad proud, he is living life to the fulle(r)st from the Pentagon to the Red Sea and from Summerville to Trenton, he is glad to be home and ready to get back to work - a huge thank you to Chief Assistant District Attorney Kevin Baugh and team!
He deployed for six months as a legal advisor to military operations in the Middle East in support of the United States Central Command.
From the shops in Helen to the fields in Colorado Springs, he has served in the White House and at the Pentagon where he earned the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s Award for Outstanding Achievement for work performed in counterterrorism.
Listen in and hear how family, faith and a commitment to serve have given Clay a life he could not have better designed himself. Hear the struggles and the stoic observations that we can all relate to and draw strength from as he weaves his story form north Georgia to the high seas of danger with masterful ease.
There are sudden surprises in this tale of adventure and with his amazing 'British Bulldog' at his side, they get through it all together.
Family, friends, faith, fear, fortitude, strength, perseverance - it's all here.
Spoiler alert, you may need a tissue box nearby - this is 'real world' folks - not a drill.
And as the newly elected District Attorney for the northwest potion of the State of Georgia - the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit - the bad guys in North Georgia had better watch out - there's a tall new Sheriff back in town and he's from a place called Sautee Nacoochee - yeah, he's tough. The law has another warrior back on the field for sure.
Please join in and let's give newly commissioned Lt. Col. Clayton Fuller a standing ovation for a job well done and a service completed.
Welcome home safe Dear Clay - your sacrifice and that of your family, your wife Kate and your children is noted - we are grateful. Welcome home.
May your Veterans Day be a good one Clay, your Grandfather is smiling.
Annuit Coeptis Clay,
tME
