About Us
Serving Veterans. Inspiring Youth. Strengthening Communities.
🦅 Who We Are
The Sgt Byron W Norwood Detachment 1022 is a proud part of the Marine Corps League, a national organization of Marines and FMF Corpsmen who continue to serve long after active duty. Named in honor of Sgt Byron W. Norwood, a local Marine who gave his life in Iraq, our detachment is based in Williamson County, Texas, and is part of the Department of Texas, which oversees Marine Corps League activities across the state.
We’re united by a shared mission:
Support veterans and their families
Mentor the next generation of leaders
Promote patriotism and community service
