Raye Thornton, a paralegal honored with USACE Chief Counsel Keystone Award
On October 5, 2012, Raye Thornton, a paralegal with the Tulsa District United States Army Corps of Engineers’ Office of Counsel was honored with the USACE Chief Counsel Keystone Award. The Keystone Award was presented to Thornton by District Commander Col. Michael Teague at the Tulsa District Headquarters. According to The Empowered Paralegal article, “Tulsa District attorney, paralegal honored with prestigious awards,” Thornton said, “I was surprised and kind of speechless when I heard about the award. I was very honored and humbled, and just completely surprised.”

The US Army Corps of Engineers editorial, “Tulsa District attorney, paralegal honored with prestigious awards,” acknowledged that Thornton earned the Keystone Award because of her expertise and respected service to the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Legal Service System. She also had a profound influence on the USACE Legal Service System. The US Army Corps of Engineers article reported that Thornton is the only paralegal working in the Office of Counsel. She is also employed as an officer for the Freedom of Information Act.

The Empowered Paralegal column explains that the Keystone Award was crated in 1997. The award recognizes the skills as well as the esteemed service of an individual or a group of members of the USACE Legal Service Systems.

According to the US Army Corps of Engineers article, District Counsel Keith Klein stated that the Keystone Award is a significant award they have with chief counsel. Klein asserted, “Raye just does a great job in the FOIA program. We've had a lot of big complex cases this year that she has dealt with really well, along with managing the office during a time of a lot of change.”

United States
The Empowered Paralegal editorial discusses Chief Counsel Earl Stockdale’s letter, which was sent to Thornton, informing her that she is the recipient of the Keystone Award. Stockdale wrote, “The name of the Keystone Award refers to the arch which is the supporting element of the structure, without which the arch would fail. The term is reflective of the indispensable roles non-attorneys perform in the successful accomplishment of the Corps’ legal services mission.”

Klein admires Thornton and values the hard work and dedication the paralegal has provided to the USACE Legal Service Systems. The district counsel told the US Army Corps of Engineers that Thornton is a top notch person who is always contributing to the USACE Legal Service Systems.
