CWO4 Woody Williams, USMC (ret) is a Marine Corps legend.  He was the recipient of the Medal of Honor for his actions against Japanese forces on the island of Iwo Jima and was the last surviving Marine Corps World War II Medal of Honor recipient.  He joined ALL MARINE RADIO at the Marine Corps Marathon to discuss his participation in the 2018 Marine Corps Marathon as well as the work his foundation, the Hershel “Woody” Williams Medal of Honor Foundation does to support the construction of memorials to Gold Star Families around the nation.
If you look at his foundation’s website you see the following:

 
Wood Williams was a delightful man, a great citizen of our nation, a courageous and selfless Marine who continued to make a difference in communities around the nation as he endeavored to honor Gold Star Families until his death.  This interview is INCREDIBLE listening… but it is simply him, a truly wonderful and lovely man.  It was certainly our privilege to have been touched by his life… may God bless Woody Williams.

A week ago a Marine Sergeant gave me the quote that sits to the right of this text.  I thought it was a profound piece of wisdom and so I went looking for the author.  His name is Geoff Hopf.  As luck sometimes has it, he’s a former Marine who fought in the Gulf War.  Geoff’s story from being the son of a Korean War-era, Browning Automatic Rifle carrying, US Marine… to himself becoming a Marine who fought in the Gulf War… to deep-sea construction diver… to bodyguard… to resort developer… to then becoming the author of 37 books is an amazing and interesting story… the story of a real-life adventurer.
From Geoff’s website:  “If you enjoy reading about post-apocalyptic landscapes, wild west gunfights and the creepy world of the paranormal, then you’re in the right place because G. Michael Hopf has written about them all.”
Geoff is also a publisher… you can check out his publishing company here:  Beyond the Fray Publishing
Great dude, not afraid… great interview.

Upon his passing, we share two wonderful interviews with a remarkable American… Richard I. “Butch” Neal, who haled from Hull, Massachusetts, and rose to become the Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps.
Some notes:

* You can find his biography HERE and HERE
* The second interview begins at 2:06:00 (if you want to skip to that…)
