Maybe Send Up A Prayer For Herschel Woodrow Williams...

...he is the last surviving Medal Of Honor recipient from WWII but is living out his last days in a hospital. His family has requested prayers be said for him. If not the praying type, maybe at least give him a thought or two today and in those days he has left. I think him worthy of either.

At the battle of Iwo Jima, then Corporal Williams advanced, alone and supported by only 4 riflemen, on enemy positions time & time again and wiped out several machine gun emplacements with a flamethrower returning to his own lines only to resupply with fresh flamethrowers and ordnance. More about him here: 
 
  
All the best,
Glenn B
 
ETA: Mr. Williams passed away yesterday, June 29, 2022. Hopefully the prayers and thoughts sent out for him have helped assure he will RIP.
