Sgt Major Goodson was made an honoree member of the N. Texas Patriot Guard in 2014 for his help as Mayor of Whitewright during the KIA mission for Christian Chandler who was from this city. Mayor Goodson made sure that once the procession reached the city limits, that all or any outside disruptions to this funeral for Christian were totally avoided. Mayor Goodson met the family and procession at the cemetery to honor Christian not only for being a vet, but also, for the entire city of Whitewright.
