RIP Woody

[John Moses]

Woody Williams - the last WWII Medal of Honor survivor.
Used six flame throwers in 1945 at Iwo Jima to clear a path.
Just heard he was responsible for lowering the height requirement to join. At 5’2” single-handedly took out SEVEN enemy positions.

They're almost all gone. Men who can't be replaced with values and courage that are lost to time.
One of my favorite YouTube channels. Interviews with veterans of that great conflict. https://youtube.com/c/MemoirsofWWII

RIP to a great WW2 true hero. If a member of our armed forces did something like that today against one of our enemies they would probably be charged with a war crime.
