Marine Corps
Air Station New River found
itself in the spotlight, Nov. 4,
as it hosted the first broadcast
in ESPN’s week-long tribute
leading up the Veteran’s Day,
“America’s Heroes: A Salute to
Our Veterans.”
More than
500 Marines were on hand at the
corrosion control hangar where
fighters from both the North
American Boxing Federation and
the All-Marine Boxing team
fought under a showcase of red,
white and blue lights back
dropped by the AH-1 Cobra, MV-22
Osprey and a large American
flag.
Like many
major boxing events, the Air
Station’s fight night was a
star-studded event, albeit
Marine Corps style. Lt. Gen.
Dennis Hejlik, II Marine
Expeditionary Force commanding
general, Maj. Gen. Carl Jensen,
commanding general of Marine
Corps Installations-East and
Brig. Gen. Lewis Craparotta,
assistant division commander of
2nd Marine Division, were seated
ringside as honored guests of
the Air Station commanding
officer, Col. Jeffrey Hewlett.
