This Week's Ohio Fallen Hero

Sunday, May 10th 2026- Army Spc. Justin Helton

Beaver, Ohio

Enduring Freedom

25

Nothing was ever going to get out of hand, not as long as Army Spc. Justin Helton was along. If the tension got too thick, he cracked a joke. If someone was sad, he tried to heal the hurt. And if something couldn’t be resolved the easy way, well, he wasn’t one to back down from an honorable fight.
