Rondyl Leftwich to receive honor from French Republic Over 60 years have passed, but tomorrow, a Glasgow, KY, World War II veteran whose family roots run deep with the Leftwich and Scott families of Metcalfe County and the Turners of Adair County will be recognized with the presentation of the French Legion of Honor. This story by his sister is a brief chronicle of one family, nine children, the four sons who served in World War II, and the three months of family heartbreak when one son was wounded in one theatre of war, and then, 73 days later, from a world away from that scene and from their tranquil farm home outside Edmonton, KY - from the Philippines and the Pacific Theater of War - came word that a second son had died in battle. -EW By Geneice Leftwich Marcum A ceremony for World War II veteran Rondyl Leftwich is scheduled for at 2:00pmCT, Sunday, September 20, 2009, at the Leftwich House, Bowling Park, 1608 W. Stockton ST, Edmonton, KY. The event is hosted by the Metcalfe County VFW Post 6281, Edmonton. 2009-09-19 11:20:28 | Comments | Printable version
