Honoring Our Hedrick Veterans!
Today, we proudly recognize the incredible men of Hedrick Associates who’ve served our country with courage, grit, and heart:
👊 Nick Post – Michigan Army National Guard (2003–2009)
Joined post-9/11 with some high school friends. Spent 4 years as a truck driver in an infantry unit, 2 in motor transportation, and deployed to Iraq (2008–2009) where he worked in a prison.
⚓ Don Wallo – U.S. Navy (1994–2000)
Don comes from a long line of service — his grandpa served in WWII, his dad in Vietnam, and he was in the Navy alongside his uncle and two cousins.
🔥 David Hearth – U.S. Navy (1990–1994)
As a Boiler Tech, Dave kept ships moving — operating and maintaining steam propulsion systems, managing water chemistry, and tackling emergency repairs like a pro.
🦅 Timothy M Walsh – U.S. Marine Corps, E-5 (1990–1996)
Tim joined the Marine Corps Reserve to serve his country and help pay for college — and ended up living through history. Activated during Desert Shield/Desert Storm, trained in Amphibious Raid in Okinawa, then deployed to the Philippines, where his mission shifted from security to humanitarian aid after Mt. Pinatubo erupted. A year of chaos, courage, and resilience that defined his service.
💥Hayden White – U.S. Army (2021–Present)
Lost some hearing and some hair, but gained a lifetime of stories.
From boiler rooms to battlefields, trucks to troop transport, these guys have done it all — and now they bring that same dedication, leadership, and humor to the Hedrick team every day.
We’re beyond proud (and extra lucky) to work alongside you.
Thank you for your service, sacrifice, and spirit. ❤️🤍💙
