At the December 14, 2015 Board of County Commissioner’s meeting, the Board made motion to post signs on SR200/A1A near the current Sheriff’s Administration Building and on US 17 at the old School Board Property in honor of the 2015 Heisman Trophy Winner, Derrick Henry.
We are pleased to announce that the Board has selected the monument sign shown above. They are currently seeking donations to assist with the costs of constructing the signs, as well as a Derrick Henry Day Event consisting of a parade and celebration. (date and location to be determined). So far, just over $500 has been raised, but we still have a long way to go!
If you are interested in making a donation, please mail a check payable to the Nassau County Board of County Commissioners at 96135 Nassau Place, Suite 1, Yulee, FL 32097 and include a reference on the memo for Derrick Henry. You may also make cash donations in person by visiting the County Manager’s Office at the same location.
waste of money…..
We have a sign at the Dmv/Tax collectors office in Yulee, for John Drew. The Damn Tax Collector, which I’m sure was payed for by Taxes. What’s he achieved? Now I’m willing to donate Money for a sign in tribute to Darrick Henry who has Excelled, and Achieved the Highest Award in College Football, I would be just as proud of him, if he had become a Rhodes Scholar. Nassau County needs to Honor this incredible achievement. I don’t know the young man, but understand he is a great guy and will continue to be a Roll Model for our youth. Good luck in the NFL Young man, continue to make your family and this community proud.
