Medal of Honor recipient Hershel “Woody” Williams has been chosen as the first inductee into the West Virginia Military Hall of Fame. Gov. Jim Justice said he had nominated Williams for the Hall of Fame and the West Virginia Veterans Council met last Thursday and unanimously voted to induct Williams. Williams was America’s last surviving World War II Medal of Honor recipient and died last week at the age of 98. The Hall of Fame, established this year by the legislature, honors veterans from West Virginia who went above and beyond the call of duty on the battlefield and who continued to distinguish themselves in service after returning to the state.
