Summarized by the Alliance for Fort Gordon
Published October 3, 2025
Master Sgt. Gary I. Gordon was 33 years old when he made the ultimate sacrifice, and nearly 32 years later, the Army is keeping its promise to ensure that he – and his fellow brothers-in-arms – are never forgotten.
Fort Gordon was officially dedicated during a ceremony Sept. 26, 2025, honoring Medal of Honor recipient Master Sgt. Gary Gordon.
The ceremony was hosted by U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence and Fort Gordon Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Ryan Janovic. Gordon’s widow, Carmen Drake-Owens, and son, Ian, attended the ceremony along with several national and local leaders, and members of Special Forces organizations – displaying what Janovic described as “an amazing demonstration of solidarity.”
