Charles Johnson Jr. was the first person from Pickens County killed in the Vietnam War more than 50 years ago on March 30, 1966 . After renewed interest in the sacrifice of Johnson and his family a resolution was passed by the Pickens City Council requesting the Pickens Post Office be named after Johnson. The Pickens Post Office is located at 110 Johnson Street, Pickens, SC.
