Allen Mincey reports: She would always attend Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies with her dad and learned to honor those who serve and have given their lives for their country.
On Monday, Leigh Ann Boyd received her own honor, receiving the Bill Norwood Veterans Service Award, which is presented by the Southeast Tennessee Veterans Home Council. The award was presented Monday because this year’s official community Veterans Day observance was cancelled.
The award was presented by Janet Allen, who was joined in the presentation by Norwood’s widow, Liz Norwood. The late Norwood, a Korean War P.O.W., was the first recipient of the honor before he became its namesake. Norwood passed away in February 2018.
Boyd’s father, Jerry Partin, served 20 years in the U.S. Navy. Partin passed away in 2012. During his military time, he had two tours in Vietnam.
