The amount of pride of those men, that served during that time, should never be forgotten.
The most bravest, grittiest, toughest, men, this Country will ever know.
Thanks "Woody"! Mac

"Hershel 'Woody' Williams Armed Forces Reserve Center is the only National Guard facility in the country named after a Marine."

Named after the oldest surviving WWII MOH recipient and home to the oldest still active regiment in the United States military.

Fitting.

Would be an honor to shake his hand and buy him a steak. "Thank you," to the greatest generation!

In lieu of the opportunity to buy him a steak, you could express your appreciation by sending a donation to his foundation to support his advocacy efforts and ongoing work towards recognizing gold star families. Woody has not stopped serving the country.

"Woody Williams considers himself the Medal’s caretaker for the Marines who did not make it home. It is in honor of those who laid down their lives for freedom as well as his commitment to upholding the values represented by the Medal of Honor, that Woody continues to be devoted to initiatives associated with the Medal of Honor."

"Several years ago, Woody had a vision to create a “first of its kind in the United States” Medal of Honor Wall of Memory that could be designed and displayed in Veterans Medical Centers and Veterans Nursing Facilities to honor and pay tribute to the Medal of Honor Recipients from the surrounding communities of those locations. The goal of the Foundation will be to collaborate and dedicate a Medal of Honor Wall of Memory in every location possible across the United States."
