Last WWII Medal of Honor recipient's foundation carries on legacy helping Gold Star families: 'Here to serve'
Fox News
The Woody Williams Foundation, founded by the late World War II veteran Hershel Woodrow "Woody" Williams, aims to continue his legacy of honoring Gold Star families nationwide.
Williams, who would have turned 99 on Sunday, was the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from World War II when he died on June 29. Born Oct. 2, 1923, in Quiet Dell, West Virginia, Williams joined the Marine Corps in 1943 and fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima, during which his valiant actions with a flamethrower earned him the nation's highest military decoration from President Harry S. Truman in 1945.
The nonprofit foundation Williams founded honors families who have lost loved ones in U.S. conflicts by erecting monuments to their memory across the country. So far, 112 memorial monuments have been raised in 183 communities in all 50 states, and 67 remain in progress.
