Calhoun County’s Helipads Center

Precinct 4 County Commissioner Gary Reese (pictured above) commenting about the newly dedicated helipad in Seadrift had this to say: “It will help 1st Responders do their job more efficiently and safely. In a medical situation time is very critical and hopefully having this facility (helipad) will help save lives.”

August 24th, two patients were transported separately in two helicopters from Seadrift’s helipad. Time was of the essence. People’s lives were at stake. Each helicopter can only carry one patient…saving lives one at a time!
Currently there are three helipads used for medical transport in Calhoun County. Memorial Medical Center has one. Magnolia Beach has one. Now Seadrift has one. Plans are underway to start construction the first of the new year (2024) in Port O’Connor for a fourth helipad in Calhoun County.

Our hats off to those who made these helipads possible, our 1st Responders, and those who operate and man these medical helicopters… saving lives one at a time! -Tanya DeForest

Purple Heart Warrior Erica Green (third from left) and her Veteran husband James Green with guide Addison Cooley and sponsor Gidgett Bigham. Erica won 1st place Black Drum and was Top Angler in the Purple Heart Classic.

This tournament was held on September 28th and 29th with a total of 25 Purple Heart recipients honored and hosted by Warrior’s Weekend and our supporting sponsors and boat captains.

These trips are very select and purchased at our largest fundraiser, the Muster, in April. Although mostly male, the tournament was actually won by a female Purple Heart recipient, Erica Greene of Madisonville, Texas. She took home about $800 in cash for her efforts. But the money is far from the most important element of our event.
The event was held at 5D Steakhouse and Brianne and her crew did a great job of hosting us including two great meals and providing their great facility. Port O’Connor is very fortunate to have a nice facility to host events like ours. They bring a lot of business to POC and in turn, help everyone out.

Thanks again to our sponsors and boat captains who have given so freely to honor our combat wounded heroes through Warrior’s Weekend, now entering our 18th year. If you’d like to be a part of this great event in 2024, please let us know at warriorswknd.org.

We very much appreciate all the support we receive from everyone.
