NASHVILLE — Four Tennessee National Guard soldiers including one West Tennessean have been awarded for their heroism. William Crawford of Henderson is one of these to receive the Soldier’s Medal, the highest peacetime award given to a soldier for acts of heroism that are not directly related to conflict with an armed enemy. The soldier must have placed their own life at risk while saving another person to earn the award. The four soldiers were awarded in the presence of friends, family and co-workers. They also received a shadow box with the award certificate and citation to include a duplicate Soldier’s Medal mounted in the center.
