"I'm just a caretaker of the Medal of Honor," the old Marine said. "I could have never received it without the help of other Marines. So when I wear it I wear it in honor of those two Marines who gave their lives protecting mine.

Hershel "Woody" Williams, we honor you and all who like you served as well as those who now serve.
