Fallen sailor Cameron Walters was honored by 24 wrestling teams and their fans Friday at the start of the Rebel Invitational in the Effingham County High School gym. Walters, a 21-year-old airman apprentice, was one of three sailors killed by a gunman at Naval Air Station Pensacola on Dec. 6. Twelve others were hurt in the attack. Richmond Hill and Effingam County’s wrestlers flanked a large portrait of Walters as his father, Shane Walters, was presented a flag by O.C. Fowler, a retired Navy commander, in an emotional ceremony.
