Sad day. RIP Woody. And thank you sir, for your service.
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Sad indeed. Rest in peace Sir.
Thank you for four service
The last living WW2 MOH recipient died today aged 98.
Herschel Woody Williams from WV.
He used a flame thrower and demo charges to clean out IJA bunkers on Iwo Jima.
A true American bad *.

What a warrior. Good God I would not have wanted to run a flamethrower. Lots could go wrong, like, you could get hit in the fuel tank by an enemy sniper.
RIP
Hoorah Marine! RIP!
