Rockingham's two oldest WWII veterans die at 101
Rockingham Now
The two oldest WWII veterans in Rockingham County, William L. “Bill” Higdon of Reidsville and Paul Prewitt of Eden (add a space here) both passed away at the age of 101 on Monday afternoon. Higdon was a staff sergeant in Company A, 1261st Engineer Combat Battalion and served three years and ten months in World War II. Prewitt, who fought in the European theatre, was awarded the French government’s highest honor in January 2020 — knighthood and induction to the country’s National Order of the Legion of Honor. Please join me in praying for their families and loved ones. Today and every day I am grateful for the brave men and women who serve our nation.
