Every moment in his life after he received that MoH, he couldn't not turn around without looking back at those two fellow marine who was assigned to protect him back then and was killed and he vow that medal he wore is for them, their sacrifice. Wherever you are Sir, hope you will be against with your fellow marine in heaven.
From an English Man who lives in peace due to you and our troops I THANK YOU!🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸😢
Glad he got to see his great grandson graduate Marine boot camp.
British army veteran commenting, 1 man 6 flamethrowers, hats off eye's front! There should have been two coffin's one for the hero, one for his balls. Outstanding 💂
I am dying here, so true he must have had problems getting around with the size balls he had. The Men carrying his casket would need hydraulic assistance because of the weight!!🤣🤣
My husband was a ww2 disabled marine..God bless and may they finally R.i.p. amen
Woody was one of a kind. We thank him for his service & sacrifice. My dad was good friends with Woody. Semper Fi 🇺🇸
My mom's stepfather served during WWII. He was one of the guards during the Nuremberg Trials.
RIP Sir, you were an inspiration and hero to many!
Rest in eternal peace Soldier. Thank you for you service. Freedom lives on because of the men like you.
Rest in peace, sir.
Woody Williams you were courageous a true hero
Rest In Peace to a hero. To be technical, he wasn’t enlisted at the time he retired. He was a corporal when he earned the medal but retired as a Warrant Officer.
The few salute him when he's gone when they all should be honored and appreciated everyday these deads and sacrifices should be spoken in the home and taught in the schools and embedded in our hearts
Every Medal of Honor receipient should recieve a state funeral from Congress, Sense they are the ones that awarded the MOH.
There is absolutely a seat waiting in Valhalla for that warrior.
American veterans don't go to Valhalla. They go to Fiddler's Green!
Rest in peace sir.
Nice to see a few young people who appreciate the selfless service of their fathers, grand fathers and even great grand fathers. Too many today couldn't replicate what they did.
Which is why I get angry when people do say why are we fighting for other countries. It is to stop tyranny like our ancestors did.
Only 1% of the population serves in the military. Even in the world wars, Korea, and Vietnam, the vast majority of people in our country did not serve. Today we have young people doing the very same things as back then. Stop trying to do the “back in my day” thing. I’ve met so many Gen Z, millennials, etc who serve with honor and distinction. Maybe read the Medal of Honor citations that have been written over the last decade or two and learn about the great young people who continue to protect our country.
Rabel is only 14?!?! Bless her heart
Thank you. RIP..
Semper Fi Marine, or as we say in Australia BRAVO ZULU,Sir. May you Rest In Eternal Peace with your fellow Marines. Your Duty completed with Honor, Dignity, Courage and Pride. Guard--Ho: Shoulder Arms--General Salute-- Present Arms-------- Shoulder Arms---Order Arms--Stand At Ease--Stand Easy. Your Watch is now Complete, We have the watch Now Sir.
Duty, Honor, Country: Douglas McArthur. Those three words describe Woody and his generation
All CMOH recipients should be accorded the utmost respect as Woody. Congress approved them did they not? Congressional Medal of Honor?
Wow, W. Williams was a real MAN! John P.
Thankful my parents were WWIIers.
They were a stunning force of nature in love.
The greatest generation the man was a simple man and a made him even more revered as all ppl who served the one who didn't come home are the true heros
Thank you sir! 🇺🇸
Rest in peace.
Rest easy my brother
Hershel would've hated the way Nancy described his heroics. In Woody's own words, the true heroes are the 2 marines that gave their life protecting him as he was taking out enemy bunkers.
I watched a documentary lost evidence he interviewed in that documentary and shared his experience. He was a flamethrower man and did a great job on iwo jima. He lived a long life. Thank for your service. Rest in peace and say hello to your brothers who fought and died aside you and your family members in heaven.
RIP MARINE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SEMPER FI
I remember when he was at his great grandsons marine graduation
Most young people don’t even know what the medal of honor is. Sad.
All MoH recipients' should have a dignified State funeral for they have given so much to their country and should serve as an example to everyone that you don't have to be a President to be honored .
Most who died after service get the Rotunda treatment I believe.
@@ethanweeter2732 Nope I only know of him getting it . When David McNerney ( a Nam MOH ) died in 2010 he wasn't even given a State funeral . He had a regular funeral followed by an escort of Patriot Guard to the VA cemetery in Houston, TX . Unless they are really well known or connected they might get a State funeral . One of the largest in Texas was for Chris Kyle held in the Cowboy Stadium in Arlington but it also was a private ceremony not a State funeral .
Sir, Thank you for your SERVICE SIR! John P.
Heaven is for Heroes, R.I.P. Semper-Fi.
God Bless Woody and America!
RIP SALUTE
All West Virginians... we are so proud of The United States Marine. Thank you, Woody. Semper Fi
The best generation,total respect from the UK ❤️
R.I.P sir
R.I.P. SIR
Rest in peace sir I salute you
One mistake his final rank was as a CW4 when he retired from Marine Corps reserve 1969 and the rare times he did wear a uniform in public it was one as a retired CW4 warrant officer
He wasn't a private citizen - he was a Marine. Semper Fi Marine.
There is literally nothing nothing nothing we can do to repay all our military veterans and their families for what they do for this country
🙏
Godspeed and RIP, Woody. Thank you for your lifetime of service to our nation. You will be remembered.
RIP hero
This man was a GIANT and nothing less , just remember that these men an woman are leaving this earth . An these people are truly truly GIANTS AMONGST US
Awe Rest in Peace ✝️🇺🇸
And when I reach the Pearly Gates, to Saint Peter I will tell--One more Marine reporting, sir, I've done my time in Hell!
Bravo Sulu Shipmate. Well Done Woody. Your watch is now over. We your fellow countrymen and women. Now have the watch. You cam go rest High on that mountain. Before the father and his son
Hey wasn't a private citizen. He also wasn't an enlisted man. He was a retired Marine Corps Chief Warrant Officer 4.
She doesn't deserve to be there!
A great man and a great patriot to the United States. A grateful nation remembers.thanks to this gentleman and all our veterans and allies veterans. Respectfully herr Dave blackburn
He wasn't a private civilian. He was a MARINE!
Having Nanzi read from a script is
no way to honor this great patriot.
My thoughts exactly
I’m sad that he lived long enough to see all his sacrifices go to waste
Rest In Peace Warrior! Thank you for your service! Enjoy Valhalla Sir!
I wouldn’t want Ms Pelosi to speak a Eulogy. That aside. RIP, sir. Much respect and honor to you from the daughter of a WW2 Navy veteran
service man who passed in 2019 after serving his country, raising his family and worshipping in his faith.❤
Fair well and following sea’s⚓️ they truly are the Greatest Generation 🇺🇸☮️
This current generational praise of of WW2 citizens makes my stomach turn. Especially by politicians. We are not 1/10th the people they were. Our current state of national affairs today demonstrates this.
He had several other riflemen with him an most were killed an the odd thing is he didn't know them
Not odd for that time. 6,000 Marines died that day.
Raise a hand to the sky for Marines never really die
We re-group, reload and re-enter, the hallowed gates of Heaven yelling-
Semper Fi!
Brothers & Sisters!
Wolf Recon
The McNutts are the kind of people keeping America alive.
Rest easy worrier….
Maybe Washington can learn something.
Not likely.
this is what is meant to be a true American no matter what race you are
Marines don’t die, they just regroup! Oorah!
Where was the president
They were the best generation because they HAD TO BE. Most don't know the tail of Japan machine-gunning citizen-sailors in rescue boats off the coast of California and Oregon. The losses in the North Atlantic. Humiliating defeats in N. Africa and Italy. You find greatness when the only other option is death.
So Desmond Doss didn't have to go out and save 75 people singlehandedly? He could have done nothing and no one would have ever heard of him. MoH recipients did and do things above and beyond the call of duty. Many didn't have to do a thing but when the situation came, they thought about others.
It's easy to criticize when you're sitting behind a computer after the fact.
@@kamxam1384 Not criticizing at all.
BZ Brother Woody....
Putting this demon in charge of honoring such a veteran is abominable, in my view. She couldn’t even keep to message.
Couldn’t agree with you more!
Well done for Rabel for her efforts to honour "Woody" and his generation, ex Royal Navy myself. It's always been a privilege to serve with our American brothers and sisters.
Semper fi marine
Thank God they didn't let Biden speak at this service....
Pelosi is the Speaker or was at that time, so it falls on her usually.
RABEL MCNUTT, is absolutely beautiful, I cannot wait till she’s 18. She will be a good wife.
Does anyone have her social media?
Oh no not her 😢
🫡
That honor is for all that fought for our freedom, he gave it all for us, polosi is garbage to represent this country
it makes me sad that we couldn't do better than Pelosi to honor that hero... shame on America.
Right she has no right to be speaking about this great American
Shame on you and McCarthy. But why am I surprised? You despise the democracy that Williams fought for. Shut the heck up, show some respect for a MOH recipient and stop hijacking his moment.
I couldn't agree more but I am not surprised. She was still the speaker for the House Democrats back then. Was kind of her job right?
She’s a hell of a lot better than Trump is! He should be in prison by now!
She could at least show up sober.
JFK finally put to rest??
RIP, Hero.. I’m sorry that the American Hating Pelosi was speaking on your behalf
Don't leave scumbag Mitch out.
and calling him "selfless". What an insult.... in the country of Ayn Rand!
Ugh
Simper Fi MARINE proceed to your new duty station. Guarding the Gates of Heaven.
Too bad they had alcoholic Pelosi speak during Mr Williams service. May the good Lord give him peace and help him move on to the next level.
still better than trump showing up and making it all about himself...
@@TheRedStateBlue Did you know Brandon almost lost his Corvette in a kitchen fire? Did you know Brandon said he is homeless. Did you know it's such a pleasure to see that Trump lives rent free in your lil ole noggin!
She's shameless and obviously drunk
Should have found someone besides pelosi. Should found an actual American to honor such a courages Marine.
Amen to that - old false teeth shouldn't be anywhere an American hero is.
Why, she is Speaker of the House and part of the approval process for him to be given a State funeral.
Rest in peace Marine. You made us proud. We are sorry that we couldn't prevent Nancy Pelosi from speaking over you. Semper Fi
Trump said that sleeping with the wives of soldiers on deployment was like his personal Viet Nam. Does he get a Medal Of Honor for that?
You should seek professional help for your festering TDS.
He was a Jodie?
@@Waldemarvonanhalt yea just like Clinton, Bush Jr., and probably you.
@@michaelrichardson6051 My, aren't you belligerent.
and you put that here because? certainly not to honor this man but to serve your own selfish hate.
Completely ruined by Pelosi being in video
How sad that Woody had to have that old alcoholic speak about his life.
Whoops! He retired as a chief warrant officer 4, Not A Corporal!
Thankfully he was a Marine, so his rank is secondary to the Corp.
However, I agree they should have gotten that correct, especially for an recipient of the Medal of Honor.
Americas greatest generation, rest in peace brave patriot 🙏🏻🫡
Was a Corporal in WW2 but retired a "Chief" (CWO4).
