This is World War II On Topic: Veteran Voices. This episode is brought to you by the Museum's Media Center and Education Department.

Back in 2020, Seth Paridon had a special conversation with Medal of Honor Recipient and Museum champion, Hershel "Woody" Williams to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Woody shares his experiences and memories of the brutal 36-day fight, as well as his postwar efforts to establish a Memorial to Gold Star Families in all 50 states.
