Bobb receives Community Service Award
MCMINNVILLE – Tribal Council member Steve
Bobb Sr. received a Community Service Award on
Wednesday, Jan. 9, from the Yamhill County chap-
ter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Spokeswoman Joanne Watts said Bobb was
recognized for his artistry in designing the West
Valley Veterans Memorial on the Grand Ronde
Tribal campus and his years of service on the Tribal
Veterans Special Event Board and participation in
the Honor Guard.
Steve Bobb Sr.
Watts said nominations for the award originate
at local chapters and then are forwarded to the state
and national levels before they are approved.
Bobb, who was re-elected to Tribal Council in September 2018, received
a certificate and a pin.
Bobb is a Vietnam War veteran who served in the Marine Corps.
“Just when you think things are bleak, something wonderful always
happens,” he said of being surprised at receiving the award, which was
given to him at the American Legion Post 21 in McMinnville. 
