There’s a cut of northeast Florida getting a touch of the wild west.
But the new space soon-to-be open for families is marking a place to honor one, in particular. The road the complex sits on is the namesake of a fallen local Army veteran,“[Losing him] is a nightmare. It’s my worst nightmare,” says Sheila Russell, Crose’s mother.
It’s been more than 21 years since Russell lost her son. Crose was killed in 2002 while serving his country in Afghanistan. The range in Middleburg sits on what is now Sergeant Bradley Close Road, a label with his legacy.“He wouldn’t have liked all the attention,” Russell says, laughing, thinking of her son’s humble nature, “but he would have loved this.”
As the park changes in the coming months, Russell and county officials hope its salute to service members will stay the same. “We need to take every opportunity to thank all of our veterans, but especially families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice,” Condon says. There’s an open house for the gun range set for tomorrow, September 30th, from 10:00-2:00. The range will open on October 7th.
