Woody Williams Legacy Honored on National Mall | Charleston News

The House just passed a historic bill honoring Hershel “Woody” Williams, the last living Medal of Honor recipient from WWII, who single-handedly turned the tide on Iwo Jima under fire. If signed by President Trump, it will erect a National Mall monument bearing his name — a powerful tribute to Woody’s legendary bravery and all Medal of Honor heroes. Raised in Fairmont, West Virginia, Woody’s hometown already honors him with a National Guard facility, underscoring his lasting impact. Senator Jim Justice called the effort both tough and deeply meaningful, celebrating not just Woody but every American who’s served. This moment is a solemn salute to sacrifice — and a permanent reminder of courage that shaped our nation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
