"Yesterday, the Congress paid tribute to Chief Warrant Officer 4 Hershel "Woody' Williams: an heroic American, a courageous defender of liberty and the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient of World War II.
With Woody's passing, we have lost a deeply selfless American and a vital link to our nation's Greatest Generation. His story echoes the service of so many Americans who faced the horrors of war so that liberty might triumph over fascism.
As Admiral Nimitz said of those who fought at Iwo Jima, "Uncommon valor was a common virtue.' Let us honor Woody and his compatriots by carrying on their legacy of leadership and service -- and by preserving the just peace for which they fought so fiercely."
