Last week, following last week's
urging from U.S. Senator Joe
Manchin (D-WV), the House of
Representatives passed a resolution
to rename the Huntington VA
Medical Center after Hershel
"Woody" Williams. The resolution
passed the Senate on September 7,
2017 and had been held up in the
House ever since.
"I am thrilled my colleagues in the
House of Representatives took my
urging seriously and have finally
honored my dear friend Woody
Williams for the sacrifices, he has
made for our country and our
beloved home of West Virginia,"
Senator Manchin said. "For almost
100 years Woody has dedicated his
life to public service and bravely
served our country. Woody is a World
War II hero, a Medal of Honor
recipient and a staunch advocate for
Gold Star Families. Nobody is more
deserving of this honor and I am
relieved the House of
Representatives has finally honored
Woody as the Senate did almost nine
months ago."
"I want to thank Senator
Manchin and Congressman Jenkins
Veterans Museum Hours

for all of their effort to make this
happen. It is something that I never
actually dreamed or thought would
happen in my lifetime. I just don't
know how to express my gratitude
for what they have done and for the
approval of the Congress. I consider
it to be another one of those
miracles. I've had so many in my
lifetime and this adds to them. Just
to have my name on an institution
like that - one that will be around
long after I'm gone - is truly an
honor," Woody Williams said.
Week before last, Senator
Manchin condemned the House of
Representatives for not passing a
resolution to rename the
Huntington VA Medical Center after
Woody. Senator Manchin introduced
the resolution on May 18, 2017. The
resolution passed the Senate on
September 7, 2017 by unanimous
consent and has been held up in the
House of Representatives ever since.
In April, Senator Manchin urged the
Chairman of the House Committee
on Veterans' Affairs Rep. Phil Roe
(R-TN) and the Ranking Member
Rep. Tim Walz (D-MN), to pass the
resolution.
