LUFKIN — Former Congressman Charlie Wilson now stands immortalized in front of the clinic that bears his name and his passion. A 10-foot statue entitled “Standing Tall with Charlie Wilson” was unveiled at the Charles Wilson VA Outpatient Clinic during a remembrance ceremony Wednesday. Charles “Charlie” Nesbitt Wilson, 76, died Feb. 10, 2010. Friends and former colleagues spearheaded the fundraiser for the project, garnering nearly $50,000 in honor of Wilson.
