Apparently they had a pretty good welcome to Woody in Valhalla today. The flags were lowered to half mast over the weekend here, in honor of our favorite native son. He will lie in state in the WV Capital rotunda today and have a private family ceremony in the next couple of days. It was a pretty big event locally.

The last Action Hero from the Great War.

RIP.

Thought I read an article not that long ago about his Great-Grandson graduating bootcamp and him being the guest of honor. RIP.

Over the long weekend, the local news channels had a note on the bottom ticker tape that stated:

Hershel W. “Woody” Williams, the last remaining Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol.

And he did just that today.

We’re all proud of you Woody.

Fitting tribute not just for his actions in war but also for his life in peace!
