CHARLESTON – World War II Medal of Honor recipient Woody Williams spoke to legislators Wednesday, commending them for passing a resolution supporting construction of a Gold Star Families Memorial Monument on Capitol grounds.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 6 notes the Legislature will work with the Hershel “Woody” Williams Medal of Honor Foundation, Gov. Jim Justice, and all others involved to ensure construction of the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument.
