A memorial that honors a West Virginia hero, and a generation of soldiers who served with him, is one step closer to reality.
S858, the Hershel “Woody” Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act, unanimously passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Monday – a rare event these days, but one that recognizes not only its West Virginia namesake but all recipients of the medal for extreme bravery and risk of life in combat.
The bill, the first piece of legislation passed by freshman Sen. Jim Justice, creates a permanent space for the new National Medal of Honor Monument near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
“Our Medal of Honor recipients represent the very best of America, and we owe them a debt we can never repay,” said Justice in a press release. “I know my dear friend Woody Williams is smiling down on us today. This victory is for Woody, for West Virginia, and for every hero who put it all on the line for our freedom.”
Williams was the last surviving World War II Medal of Honor recipient.
“Woody Williams, who was a constituent of the second district, is an American hero and legendary West Virginian. It is fitting that the bill creating the National Medal of Honor Monument bears his name,” Congressman Riley Moore, a Republican who represents West Virginia’s second congressional district, said. “I was proud to support this bill to give the recipients of our nation’s highest military decoration their proper place of honor on the national mall alongside great statesmen like Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington.”
The bill goes now to President Donald Trump to be signed into law.
