Whereas, in the proud tradition of sons of the Palmetto State, he served two years with distinction in the United States Army during the Korean War before receiving an honorable discharge; and

Whereas, he served as a classroom teacher in the Berkeley County school system for thirty years to educate the young minds in our State and yield productive citizens; and
Whereas, a devoted member of the New Light United Methodist Church in St. Stephen for more than sixty years, Mr. Gamble has served as the church's lay leader, President of the United Methodist Men, and chairman of the trustee board, finance committee, health and welfare board, and the administrative council; and
Whereas, he served his community on the St. Stephen Town Council and on the Executive Committee of the Democratic Party. He is a member of Jefferson Grant #315 32nd Degree Mason, Jeddah Temple #160 and American Legion Post 247, Veteran of Foreign Wars Post 7723, and the Claflin University International Alumni Association; and
