The community stepped up in a big way to help a hero.
DADEVILLE, Ala. - An Alexander City police officer and veteran is being thanked in a big way for his service to the community and country.
“I can’t even put into words how to say thank you,” McCook said in disbelief. “I never expected anything like this. I don’t ask anybody for anything. There is plenty of other people out there that deserve this and could use this just as much if not more than I can, but thank you very much.” McCook was having trouble filing an insurance claim for his roof that needed repairs, and Dunning Roofing CEO Andrew McGreer knew the community needed to do something to help.
It’s a thank you for his dedication, commitment, and sacrifice to the community and country. He served for 15 years in the Alabama National Guard’s 214th Military Police Company in Alex City and is a Purple Heart recipient after being wounded in Iraq.
