Palmer Lake Historical Society presents: William "Bill" Crawford's Story - video by Jim Sawatszki - A Hero's StoryAbout this Event
Please join the Palmer Lake Historical Society to hear a beautiful story about sacrifice and honor. Jim Sawatzki, past president of the PLHS, will present his 30-minute video Above and Beyond - A Hero’s Story which recounts the life of William “Bill” J. Crawford, in his own words. William “Bill” Crawford is perhaps best known for shocking cadets at the Air Force Academy in the 1980s: Their shy janitor, it turned out, was also a Medal of Honor recipient. William was a long-time resident of both Monument and Palmer Lake. In the year 2000, he passed away at the age of 81. His head stone reads: “For Love of God & Country” and William is buried with his wife at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
Bring a friend or two and stay afterwards for light refreshments and socializing. Doors open at 6:30. Free and open to the public.
In case of incliment weather we follow District 38 closures, we want everyone to be safe.
