Savannah Odom and Stone Godbold were recently recognized by American Legion Post #13 for their volunteer efforts at the Darlington Veteran’s Memorial.
Savannah, featured in a December issue of the News & Press, was recognized for adding Christmas Wreaths to the memorial for the holiday season in remembrance of all veterans. Savannah is the daughter of Beth and Parrish Lambert.
Stone was recognized for his efforts of maintaining the South Carolina State Flag since the memorial was constructed. Stone purchases and replaces the flags so a new flag is flying for Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day. Any other time during the year, should the flag become faded or tattered, Stone replaces it. Stone is the son of Angie and Ken Godbold.
Savannah (9th Grade) and Stone (10th Grade) are both students in the Early Honors College at Darlington High School. They each play sports, are active in school clubs and church youth groups.
Both Savannah and Stone have many family members with bricks displayed at the memorial.
The American Legion Post #13 meets the second Thursday of each month at on Harry Byrd Hwy. next to the South Carolina National Guard Armory at 6:00 p.m.
