Prospect Heights Fire helps welcome wounded veteran – update
Lauren Claussen from the Prospect Heights Fire Department and Larry Shapiro shared several images capturing the heartfelt celebration held for Army Sergeant Ben Stehman in Prospect Heights just yesterday. The event was nothing short of inspiring, showcasing the deep respect and admiration the community holds for this decorated soldier.
The photos capture the moments leading up to Sgt. Stehman’s arrival at his parents’ home, where units lined the streets in a show of support. An unassuming limousine pulled up to pick up the family, setting the stage for what would be a memorable day. As Sgt. Stehman stepped out, he was immediately greeted by the press, his calm demeanor contrasting with the excitement around him. Inside the limousine, surrounded by media attention, he tried to keep his composure while soaking in the significance of the moment.
Outside the Stehman home, members of the Warriors Watch Riders waited patiently to escort him to a special luncheon held in his honor. The convoy included police vehicles ensuring a smooth journey through town, with roads temporarily closed to maintain order. The procession wound its way past familiar landmarks, including Sgt. Stehman’s former school, where students eagerly awaited his arrival. At MacArthur Middle School, children held up handmade posters, each one expressing their gratitude and pride in having a hometown hero like Sgt. Stehman.
The luncheon itself was a touching tribute, with the Prospect Heights mayor presenting him with the symbolic key to the city. Sgt. Stehman delivered a heartfelt speech, thanking everyone for their unwavering support of the troops and urging everyone not to forget those still serving overseas. His words resonated deeply, reminding all present of the sacrifices made by our military personnel.
As the day drew to a close, Sgt. Stehman posed for pictures with members of the Warriors Watch Riders, holding a signed banner that symbolized the collective appreciation of his community. It was clear that this wasn’t just a celebration for one individual but for the entire military family.
