This month will mark 15 years since Sgt. 1st Class Rick Herrema, 27, was killed in Iraq on April 25, 2006.
But Herrema, who was a U.S. Army Special Operations Command soldier at Fort Bragg, is still responsible for creating relationships that span from Fayetteville to his hometown of Hudsonville, Michigan.
A few years after Herrema’s death in 2014, soldiers in his unit joined forces with others in Fayetteville to transform an old horse farm here into a retreat for military families that bears Herrema’s name Rick s Place.
The nonprofit Rick Herrema Foundation was formed by his friends and family to carry on his commitment to friends, family and community.
