On June 17, 2006, more than 200 people attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony to present the Blackmon family with the keys to their new home. Blackmon arrived in his dress uniform escorted by members of the Navy Honor Guard and the Vietnam Veterans Association. Members of the Navy and Marines from the Kings Bay Submarine Base also attended the ceremony, as well as representatives from the Army and Air Force. Veterans in attendance collectively represented the WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Desert Storm and the Iraq wars. A bell was clanged and his family's arrival was announced like the introduction of a high-ranking officer or dignitary at a naval ceremony.
Capt. Mike McKinnon, commanding officer of Kings Bay Naval Base, said that the volunteers showed the tremendous support that the area has for the military.
Jones said the Blackmon family residence was the most gratifying project of his teaching career. However, for Blackmon, it was a well-deserved homecoming.
