The American Legion Department of South Carolina Commander John Britt US Army and Dept. of SC Vice Commander Walt Richardson, US Marine Corps were recognized during the playing of the Armed Forces Medley.
Seth Buckley, a Palmetto Boys’ State staff member delivered an inspiring message to the citizens of Boys’ State’s invited guests and Legionnaires. His message was based on the heroics of a WWII US Army Veteran Desmond Doss, who saved 75 soldiers on the Island of Okinawa and was awarded the “Congressional Medal of Honor.”
Palmetto Boys’ State Director Stephen Lewis challenged the Boys’ State citizens to use this week to the best of their ability. You may choose to run for a political office, play an instrument in the PBS Band, audition in the talent Show or maybe sing in the PBS Choir.
Palmetto Boys’ State counselors placed the US Flags on the stage as a salute to our SC fallen heroes.
