WWII Medal of Honor recipient to lie in state at US Capitol

Hershel W. “Woody” Williams, the last remaining Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin announced at a memorial on Sunday where Williams was remembered for his courage, humility and selflessness.

“He never quit giving back,” said Manchin. That included raising money for gold star families — immediate family members of fallen service members — with an annual motorcycle ride.

“It's raised hundreds of thousands of dollars," Manchin said. He joked that "It’s not going to be stopping, because Woody would come after me in a heartbeat."
