Nice mention here (link here):
One former Brewton resident, Shelton Beverly “Slim” Sutton, Jr., a former star Georgia Tech lineman, was killed while serving aboard the U.S.S. Juneau in 1942. The ship was sunk and most of its crew perished, including the five famous “Fighting Sullivan Brothers,” were killed. Two years later, the U.S. Navy honored the heroism of Lt. Sutton by naming one of its new destroyers, the U.S.S. Sutton.
