I’ve met Woody a couple times. A heck of a nice guy. This is good for him, but a loss for the planet.

He was a very short man, like 5-3 or 5-4, he was not in the first wave on Iwo Jima, when he came ashore the Marines were bogged down taking one of the airfields on Iwo Jima, his commanding officer asked him if he could take out 1 of the 4-5 Japanese bunkers stopping the advance, he took on the assignment with a flame thrower, under covering fire, he managed to get on top of the first bunker and shot a flame thru the air vent that destroyed the bunker, he continued on destroying multiple Japanese Bunkers, multiple times he had to retrieve addition tanks for the flame thrower from the beach.
He was also on the ground when the flag was raised on Mt. Suribachi.
What an incredible man with an incredible story.

This is truly a milestone. A bittersweet one in that the last member of a generation of young Americans who were asked to do perhaps the most challenging and courageous undertaking in all of human history like no other generation before or since is gone.
And most Americans today have no clue.
Thank you for my freedom Mr. Williams.
May the earth rest lightly on you.
