Local organizations collaborate to help a veteran Recently, VFW 6097 members Paul Smith and Joe Hare became aware that veteran Justin Claywell had a pressing need for a ramp at his house. Justin had lost part of his left leg due to diabetes, and is wheelchair bound. With this in mind, the local VFW and Masonic Lodge joined forces to see what could be quickly accomplished. The Columbia Christian Church Benevolence team, lead by Richard Phelps, also found out about this need. VFW 6097 and Columbia Masonic Lodge 96 agreed to purchase all needed materials for a new ramp, and Columbia Christian Benevolence provided labor for the building of the ramp. Within 7 days of learning of the need, the ramp was completed, and it has been of great assistance for Justin and his family. Joe Hare says, "All three organizations are very happy and willing to help in any situation that we can. We pray that all goes well for Justin." Pictured are Paul Smith (Masonic Lodge) and Russell Lunsford (VFW Commander) presenting checks to Richard Phelps (Columbia Christian) for the payment of the materials. With them is Justin with his great attitude and smile. This story was posted on 2025-08-28 09:30:30
