I was browsing the pics of those veterans who attended the ceremony and disappointed they didn't identify all the participants for future reference. However, I found this one I recognized of Henley P. Woods (an NCO in 1-3). Mr Woods was the Chairman of the Airborne Memorial Walk Committee when we (1-507th) were engaged with the Airborne Historical Association in designing, funding, and creating the monument on Eubanks Field where BAC gradualtions normally now take place.
He was a great guy to know and to work with, and I'm glad to see him able to participate in this ceremony.
Congratulations to the 'Forcemen' for this award and its recognition of your valorous contributions to History!
Richard
