The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Division of Community Corrections Department honored one of its own Wednesday, placing a monument at the Metro Detention Center in memory of Delmar White. A former corrections officer, White was killed in Baghdad on Sept. 2, 2007, while serving as a staff sergeant with the Kentucky National Guard. His widow, Michelle White, helped unveil the monument, a simple granite marker in front of the detention center's flagpole, carrying White's name and the seals of the Urban County Government and the Department of the Army. White, a former Marine, was serving with Bravo Battery, 138th Field Artillery out of Carlisle when he was killed in a homemade bomb explosion. Friends and comrades said he "died doing his duty to protect his friends, his family and his country." Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
