The Dothan branch of the Salvation Army welcomed Major Linda Payton as its new officer this week, making her the latest in her family's multi-generational Salvation Army service.
Payton is a fifth-generation Salvation Army officer on her father’s side, and fourth generation officer on her mother’s side.
Payton has been with the Salvation Army for more than 31 years, since she was 14 years old. Almost every family member she knows or knows of has been heavily involved with the Salvation Army. “My goal for the fall is to really have some character-building programs like the youth program start back up again,” she said. ”I really think the community would enjoy and benefit from starting something like that back up for the kids. I have heard by word of mouth that there are kids that will come up to our door every now and then and ask when will we start the youth programs back up, and I would like to try and give them that program back and help the kids.
