Salem Community College Foundation Veterans Dinner. At the event, Gwyn 
Parris-Atwell of Alloway, South Jersey was honored for her 21 years of 
service in the United States Air Force, where she earned the rank of 
colonel. During her time in the Air Force, she bravely served in Iraq. 
Gwyn earned many awards in the military including the Meritorious 
Service Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, 
National Defense Service Medal, Air Force Longevity Service Ribbon, and 
Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. In addition to her military 
career, she also has experience as a professional nurse and served on 
the Executive Board of the New Jersey Emergency Nurses Association. I 
want to thank Gwyn for her heroic service to our country, and it was my 
honor to attend the Veterans Dinner. God Bless Gwyn, and God Bless our 
United States of America.
