MANCHIN ATTENDS UNVEILING OF HUNTINGTON GOLD STAR FAMILIES MONUMENT, CELEBRATES WOODY WILLIAMS' 100TH BIRTHDAY

Press Release

"It has been 78 years since Woody quieted those enemy machine guns on the sands of Iwo Jima, and while he is now sadly gone, the ideals that he lived by are not: love of family, love of friends, faith, and service to country above self. It is an honor and a privilege to help fulfill one of Woody's final wishes and honor the families of those whose loved ones died during military service. And doing so on what would have been his 100th birthday made it all the more special. Although this national hero is no longer with us, I will continue to carry on his legacy of serving our Veterans and their families."
