Lt. Col. Steve Martin, the director of the Army Aviation Support Facility, makes his last purchase at the shoppette that is located on Boone National Guard Center since it will be closing for good Sept. 15, 2023. It was a full circle moment as the first purchase to ever be made at the store was made by a retired Col. Donnie Martin (no relation to Steve) back in 1999.
