WWII Legacy Girl Posted December 13, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 13, 2016 When I interviewed Iwo Jima MoH recipient "Woody" Williams, one of the things that struck me the most about him was his humility and how he deflected the crediit and honor he recieves to the Marines who he served with that didn't make it home.

sundance Posted December 14, 2016 Share #2 Posted December 14, 2016 Was that interview done recently? If so, he's aging really well. That's one modest hero but most of those MOH recipients seem to be just like that. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one modest hero but most of those MOH recipients seem to be just like that. Impressive. Yes, I did the interview in April of this year. He sure is standing strong for his age!

Trevor M. Larson Posted December 18, 2016 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2016 Impressive! How'd you even get in touch with him for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWII Legacy Girl Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted December 18, 2016 Impressive! How'd you even get in touch with him for this? Well, I know the executive directer of the 1st Division Museum near us, and he knows contacts a Pritzker Military Library in Chicago. Pritzker is where Woody's original Medal is, so I knew they would have his contact info. So, I contacted Paul Herbert, the executive directer of 1st Div. Museum, and he in turn emailed Pritzker, who in turn gave Woody's family my contact info and that is how I got a hold of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
