About Us

Richmond County, NC

You may know us from our rich racing history that begins with The Rock, but we are much more than that. We are a community of natural riches, with pristine forests, unspoiled rivers, and fertile farmland. We are the perfect entrance to North Carolina's Central Park, and the perfect escape for people who want to experience the great outdoors. Our preserved prehistoric Indian mound and woodlands are untouched since the days of discovery. A culture of family farms is alive and well in the numerous farms, peach orchards, and the vineyard. Richmond County is a very different place from a more traditional time, where we respect the lands and waters and the friends and families we call neighbors. From the railroad history in Hamlet to the fruit stands in Ellerbe and Norman, from the game lands around Hoffman to the historic courthouse town of Rockingham, Richmond County provides an authentic experience of true southern charm.

Old Soldiers Never Die: USFK Command Sgt. Maj. retires after 36 years

Entering a senior enlisted advisor’s office is like stepping back in time. To a junior service member, it might resemble a museum with memorabilia and placards, undoubtedly supported by countless shared memories of places he once called home. Photos of old friends at military school graduations, shadowboxes full of medals and parting gifts, and challenge coins neatly positioned everywhere; every corner has a story.

But the final chapter of this story is the one Command Sgt. Maj. Walter A. Tagalicud treasures most.

“The memories and experiences that I’ve gained in these last three years will last me a lifetime,” he affirmed as he looked at the Korean scenery out his window. “This has to be the most rewarding assignment I’ve ever served in.”

Tagalicud is scheduled to relinquish his charge as United Nations Command, Combined Forces Command, and U.S. Forces Korea Senior Enlisted Advisor to Command Sgt. Maj. Jack Love during a change of responsibility ceremony, March 25.
