Joey Williams Named 2026 Veteran of the Year

Joey Leon Williams has been named Dillon County Veteran of the Year by the Dillon County Veterans of the Year Organization. In announcing the selection, DCSCVOYO Commander Thom Thompson said that Joey Williams has a heart for helping veterans and their families. He said, “His work helping veterans is making a valued impact on our veteran community.” Joey Williams retired from the United States Air Force in July 2012 after 30 years of service, attaining the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. He currently serves as commander of Dillon County VFW Post 6091. Under his leadership, the VFW maintains an active and visible presence in the community. The team has hosted veterans’ breakfasts and luncheons, connecting more than 200 veterans, widows, and family members with resources and assisting them in applying for the benefits and entitlements they have earned. VFW members have made a significant impact by helping veterans and their families avoid foreclosure and eviction, providing them with greater stability. They have also supplied groceries to veterans and widows to address food insecurity and paid overdue utility bills to help recipients keep their homes safe and their utilities operational while reducing financial stress. Post 6091 leads the Pee Dee region in the number of South Carolina Department of Veterans Affairs Pathfinders. Through this program, members connect veterans seeking certifications, entrepreneurial opportunities, further education, or career changes with organizations across South Carolina at no cost to the veteran. Lastly, Dillon County VFW Post 6091 established an Auxiliary. The VFW Auxiliary is dedicated to serving veterans and their families and honoring the sacrifices of those who have bravely worn the uniform. The Auxiliary comprises relatives of veterans who served in foreign conflicts. This initiative will enable Post 6091 to expand its community outreach and provide assistance where needed.
