Marine Corps Logistics Command joined veterans, community leaders and residents June 26 for the Lee County Exchange Club's annual Field of Honor dedication, recognizing the service and sacrifice of America's military while thanking Southwest Georgia for its steadfast support of those who serve.

Maj. Gen. Keith D. Reventlow, commanding general of MARCORLOGCOM, served as the event's keynote speaker. He was joined by Sgt. Maj. Marshall H. Gregg, senior enlisted advisor, MARCORLOGCOM, along with members of the local veteran community, civic leaders and citizens gathered among hundreds of American flags displayed in tribute to veterans, active-duty service members, first responders and their families.

Hosted by the Lee County Exchange Club, the event celebrates patriotism, community service and the enduring relationship between the military and the communities that stand behind it. This year's ceremony also reflected on the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary, recognizing the generations of Americans who have preserved the freedoms represented by the Stars and Stripes.

"The partnership between the civilian community—organizations like the Exchange Club—and the military is the bedrock of our national security," Reventlow said. "We at LOGCOM cannot do our job without the support of this community."

Reflecting on 250 years of military service to the nation, Reventlow said today's Marines and service members are carrying forward a legacy forged by those who came before them.

"Today, that legacy is carried by less than one percent of Americans who volunteer to wear the uniform," Reventlow said. "They know the risks, they know the history, and yet they step forward anyway. They are the guardians of our next 250 years."

Following the ceremony, attendees walked through the Field of Honor, where each American flag served as a reminder of the men and women who have answered the nation's call to serve and the families and communities whose support makes their service possible.

Concluding his remarks, Reventlow thanked the Exchange Club and the citizens of Southwest Georgia for their enduring support of the military.

"Thank you for your patriotism. Thank you for your unwavering support of our military, our veterans, and our mission," Reventlow said. "And most importantly, thank you for being the kind of community that makes our flag worth fighting for."

The Lee County Exchange Club's Field of Honor is open to the public through July 5 at the Oakland Library, 445 Oakland Parkway, Leesburg, Georgia. Community members are encouraged to visit the display and reflect on the service, sacrifice and patriotism represented by each American flag.

Headquarters Battalion, Marine Corps Logistics Command, marked a leadership transition as Lt. Col. Jason A. Paredes relinquished command to Lt. Col. Andrew J. Martin during a change of command ceremony June 23.

Headquarters Battalion provides leadership, accountability, administrative support, training readiness oversight and professional development for Marines assigned across Marine Corps Logistics Command. The battalion also supports the morale and welfare of Marines and their families while enabling LOGCOM’s global mission of supporting Marines worldwide.

Maj. Gen. Keith D. Reventlow, commanding general of Marine Corps Logistics Command, recognized Paredes for his leadership during the past two years and his role in strengthening the battalion.

“You leave the command stronger and better because of your leadership,” Reventlow said. “Thank you. We’re going to miss you as you embark on the next chapter.”

Following the change of command, Paredes celebrated his retirement after 22 years of service during a separate ceremony with family, friends, Marines and colleagues.

Paredes thanked the Marines, civilians and families who supported him throughout his final command tour.

“When I took command, I told you I wanted to be here, I asked for these orders, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made,” Paredes said. “This tour has been the hallmark of my career, and I wish you all continued success.”

Martin thanked Paredes and the battalion for ensuring a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of supporting LOGCOM’s mission.

“I see this assignment as an endless opportunity to give back to an organization that has provided so much support to me and my Marines since I have been in uniform,” Martin said. “Anything I can do to support the LOGCOM mission, the Marines, the families and the civilians, I see that as a win.”

Martin closed his remarks by expressing his appreciation for the opportunity to lead Headquarters Battalion.

“It is an honor and a privilege to take command of Headquarters Battalion,” Martin said. “I’m very happy to be here.”

Another Piece of Military History Restored

Marine Depot Maintenance Command’s Production Plant Albany recently completed its second major restoration project in support of the Georgia National Guard, a 1950s-era M48 tank, a historic armored vehicle that served with U.S. forces for decades, including during the Vietnam War era.
Restoring this vehicle required the skill and craftsmanship of artisans across multiple trades:

✅ Coatings specialists removed decades of old paint and prepared the vehicle’s surface for restoration.

✅ Welders custom-fabricated missing components, including recreating a light bracket using limited historical drawings and references.

✅ Painters completed the final finish, restoring historic markings, stars and serial numbers to preserve the tank’s legacy.

MDMC is proud to support the preservation of military history while showcasing the craftsmanship and technical expertise of the artisans who continue supporting warfighter readiness every day.

As he assumed command, Stona emphasized MFSC’s continued focus on supporting Marines and ensuring warfighters have the equipment and resources required to accomplish the mission.
