"We wanted to thank our our security force for the great job they did during the Build-A-Bed," said Bullard, who helped organize the event.  "It was a great experience and a great opportunity to get the public here on Boone Center and support a worthwhile cause.  We can't that without the support of our security team.  They did a terrific job and made sure everything went smoothly." Larry McCord, Boone Center Chief of Security, said the recognition is well deserved. "These folks work around the clock, 24/7, year round to keep this facility safe and secure," said McCord.  "This is the second year in a row that we've done this.  Any time you bring a large number of people on post there are challenges, but our team can handle it." Participating in the ceremony were Facilities Director Joe Wilkins and Mike Adcock, Facilities Assistant Director.
