On July 17, 2012 Officer Jeremiah M. Goodson Jr. was shot and killed in the line of duty. For 6 years he served the citizens of Lumberton, NC as a Lumberton Police Officer. He was a dedicated Police Officer who left behind a wife and two small children. Officer Goodson was struck down by a hail of gunfire in the parking lot of a local gas station located 1/2 of a mile from Exit 22 that crosses I-95 in Lumberton, NC. On July 24th 2012 Officer Goodson was carried across this bridge one last time to his final resting place at Gardens of Faith Cemetery. Please join me in supporting Officer Goodson and his family by asking the NC DOT to name this bridge in honor of this Man, Officer, Father and Son. 

 "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)
Jeremiah M. Goodson was a good man who did something so lets all join in and do something for him. Thank you.

Such a tragic loss for his family and the whole town. This would be a great way to remember him every time we drive over that bridge.
