Corey, who suffered from PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder), died in February at 33.

After serving in the Army from 2007-2012 during the Iraq war, he joined West Fraser in 2015 and worked as a sawmill supervisor for 2½ years.

"We tragically lost Seth, and we know PTSD is real," said Chuck Watkins, the vice president of U.S. lumber manufacturing for West Fraser. "Our company, we've got hundreds of veterans across the U.S. There are 16 veterans here today. We feel like what can we do? We have a responsibility, got to do something and that's why we're here."

The donation was made to honor Corey and other veterans.

Four members of Corey's family made the trip to Augusta from Michigan where he was from for the presentation, including his father Jeff Corey; stepmother Barb Corey; mother Kelly Davis and sister Kalie Williamson. Davis' fiancé Brad Vernon was also in attendance.

"On behalf of Seth's family, I want to thank Chuck (Watkins) and (General Manager of the Augusta Division at West Fraser) Steve (Peskar) for what they have done and the entire West Fraser family. The compassion, the support and the love that they have expressed to our family after this tragedy has been amazing," Jeff Corey said. "When my son came home from war, physically he came home, mentally he was still there. On average, 22 veterans a day commit suicide. They're still fighting the war. They need the resources, they need the help and sometimes they just need a hug, they don't need the money, just a handshake."

Jeff Corey said the attack on the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center in 2001 was a "motivating factor" in Seth enlisting in the Army after he graduated with honors from Ferris State University in Michigan in 2006 and the United States Army Officer Candidate School.

As an Army captain, Corey was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Combat Action Badge, Army Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Ribbon, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and Iraq Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, as he led 35 soldiers and 15 Iraqi police in more than 200 combat missions in Kirkuk, Iraq, without a single casualty to the men that he commanded.

Jeff Corey recounted an email he received from one of the soldier's who served under Seth following his son's death.

"If it meant me serving another tour in Iraq to bring your son back, I would proudly serve under your son again. He said this is the kind of leader your son was," Jeff recalled. "Prior to your son coming there, morale was at an all-time low, and within a month we would have done anything for Capt. Corey."

Jeff Corey said of his son, "He had that desire to serve his country. He wanted to transfer to the next unit going to Iraq. He was a leader of men. He was a fearless warrior. But the war never left him mentally."

He told another story about a conversation he had Thursday with a West Fraser employee.

"We had an individual walk up and say how Seth saved his job knowing that he didn't show up for work one day. There was a misunderstanding in the schedule and it was given to my son who he reported to. You deal with it how you deem necessary. My son said 'you're a dependable man, you're here on time very day, and I knew something wasn't right when you didn't show up, so I understand the confusion on the schedule. Now get back to work.' "

After leaving the Army, Jeff Corey said his son attended a job fair in Memphis, which is where he learned about West Fraser.

"They all agreed he was their No. 1 candidate," Jeff Corey said.

Seth began working at West Fraser in September 2015.

Andrew Coughlan, a major gift specialist with the Wounded Warrior Project who served in Iraq and suffered from PTSD, hopes to carry on Seth's legacy following the donation.
