Honoring Our Heroes: Law Enforcement Memorial Service
As we close out National Police Week, we stand together to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities. This annual Law Enforcement Memorial Service serves as a solemn tribute to their dedication, courage, and unwavering commitment to justice.
Representative Paul Scott delivered a heartfelt message, recognizing the sacrifices made by our officers. Every Law Enforcement agency in Cleveland County was represented, standing in unity to honor those who gave everything to protect and serve.

Day 2 of STAR Camp was packed with purpose, play, and powerful community support!
We kicked off the morning with an inspiring lesson and devotional from Dr. Eric Davis—thank you for grounding our campers with such thoughtful words and encouragement to start the day.
Next, we traveled through history with a visit to Cowpens National Battlefield, where campers learned about the pivotal Revolutionary War battle. We’re grateful to the staff for such a hands-on, educational experience.
A huge thank-you to Chick-fil-A Shelby (beside Walmart) for providing lunch—your kindness and great food always hit the spot!
In the afternoon, we turned up the fun at The Big E Gaffney, with laser tag, putt-putt, bowling, and more. So many laughs and memories!
We’re also deeply thankful to Marburger Chevrolet for providing the STAR Camp truck that keeps us rolling smoothly through each adventure.

Strengthening Our Community Through Leadership & Collaboration
Yesterday afternoon in Raleigh, Major Gordon joined a distinguished panel at the Health & Human Services and Justice & Public Safety Steering Committee meeting. Alongside Sheriff Dance of Pitt County Sheriff and Lauren Earnhardt from the NC Sheriffs' Association, he helped lead an insightful discussion on the County's roles in Behavioral Health and the Justice System.
This conversation underscored the vital connection between behavioral health resources and public safety, reinforcing our commitment to policies and partnerships that serve our community. We’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important dialogue and to work alongside leaders who are dedicated to positive change.
