He sucked in his last year as an Astro. Good career though.

I met Mr. Williams at DFW when he and others flew in for the Gainesville, Tx MOH Weak 5 years ago. Super guy, as sharp as a tack. Woody was so small that the Army wouldn't take him so he joined the Marines.

We lost a good one.

Ironically Audie Murphy was so small the Marines wouldn't take him so he joined the Army.

Is this still a thing? A person can be too small for the army but not the marines? And why?

This guy probably had nightmares about what he did and saw for over 75 years.
RIP, Sir
