Norman at Basic























 

  
Norman Lee Ward, 81, a 623rd AC&W veteran, died Thursday, December 27, 2018. Norman was a victim of Polio during his early years, yet was strong enough to endure and overcome the frustrations common to those stricken with Poliomyelitis.
Norman served his country well as a member of the United States Air Force, having served as a member of the 313th Air Division, Detachment 1, Crew ‘D’ at the Air Defense Control Center at Naha Air Base Okinawa; moreover, also as a member of the 623rd Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron.
Norman opted for a reassignment to an island member within the Sakishima Archipelago, Miyako Retto; the island of Miyako Jima. Earthquakes and typhoons are quite common to Miyako Jima, with some of the most devastating having occurred during Norman’s tour of duty. Norman would later spend a career at a steel plant; would design and build his own home.
