Kudos to the people of Cheatham Co.. Sgt. Kevin Downs was nearly killed last August by a roadside bomb in Iraq. Downs was the only one to survive the attack but not without a price. He has burns on 60% of his body. He also lost both legs and the use of one of his arms. The people of Cheatham Co. have banned together to do what ever they can for him. They have set up a fund in his name, built a wheelchair ramp at his home and Tuesday 7-11-06 they gave him a heroes welcome home. He was greeted at the airport by family and well wishers. He also had a motorcade escort home where hundreds of neighbors lined the streets.
So, good job to the people of Kingston Springs and Cheatham Co. for supporting one of our nations finest. Welcome home Sgt. Downs and get well soon!
