U.S. Marine Corps veteran Hershel Woodrow "Woody" Williams, who died last month at 98 as the last living WWII Medal of Honor recipient, lies in honor Thursday at the U.S. Capitol, where lawmakers saluted him with a tribute ceremony to honor the "greatest generation" American hero.
Williams was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Harry Truman in 1945 for his "extraordinary heroism" during the Battle of Iwo Jima -- when at age 21, he singlehandedly operated six flamethrowers against Japanese forces for several hours and ultimately cleared a path for American troops. It was Feb. 23, 1945, the same day Marines raised the American flag atop Mount Suribachi.
