Help Mr. Layton Dowless Continue His Tribute

Columbus county and surrounding areas always has the most beautiful memorials for our fallen heroes. If you or a family member have been in the military or have a law enforcement personnel who has passed away with a tombstone in the county there's a 99% chance Mr Layton Dowless of Whiteville, NC has been by and placed a flag on their headstone.

Mr Layton does this honorable memorial out of the kindness of his heart and out of his own pocketbook.

Over the years he has passed out flags youngsters and gravesites and continues to do so at 87 years old. He currently also is doing all this with a wife who is dealing with Alzheimer's disease. His daughter said it best that he has put blood sweat and tears into honoring fallen veterans and law enforcement. He has put down almost 700 stones for veterans and places flags on their gravesites. He spends nearly $6k a year on flags, putting fresh ones out every 4 months. That is his money. Yes there are a few people that sponsor a cemetery or graveyard but he does this not only for Columbus County but surrounding counties as well. He is 87 years old and has to do this around having someone to sit with his wife who has Alzheimer’s. Mr. Layton puts them out because he wants to honor our military and law enforcement.
