America's last living World War II Medal of Honor recipient has passed
Rest peaceful honored veteran... your brothers have the watch

Last World War II Medal of Honor recipient, Hershel ‘Woody’ Williams, dies at 98

Hershel Woodrow Williams (October 2, 1923 – June 29, 2022) was a United States Marine Corps warrant officer and United States Department of Veterans Affairs veterans service representative who received the United States military's highest decoration for valor—the Medal of Honor—for heroism above and beyond the call of duty during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. At the time of his death, Williams was the last living Medal of Honor recipient from World War II.

CITATION:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as Demolition Sergeant serving with the First Battalion, Twenty-First Marines, Third Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima, Volcano Island, 23 February 1945. Quick to volunteer his services when our tanks were maneuvering vainly to open a lane for the infantry through the network of reinforced concrete pillboxes, buried mines and black, volcanic sands, Corporal Williams daringly went forward alone to attempt the reduction of devastating machine-gun fire from the unyielding positions. Covered only by four riflemen, he fought desperately for four hours under terrific enemy small-arms fire and repeatedly returned to his own lines to prepare demolition charges and obtain serviced flame throwers, struggling back, frequently to the rear of hostile emplacements, to wipe out one position after another. On one occasion he daringly mounted a pillbox to insert the nozzle of his flame thrower through the air vent, kill the occupants and silence the gun; on another he grimly charged enemy riflemen who attempted to stop him with bayonets and destroyed them with a burst of flame from his weapon. His unyielding determination and extraordinary heroism in the face of ruthless enemy resistance were directly instrumental in neutralizing one of the most fanatically defended Japanese strong points encountered by his regiment and aided in enabling his company to reach its' [sic] objective. Corporal Williams' aggressive fighting spirit and valiant devotion to duty throughout this fiercely contested action sustain and enhance the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Happy Armed Forces Weekend to All who have served, or are currently serving, the United States in uniform in times of peace and war.

Created on August 31, 1949, by then-Secretary of Defense, Louis Johnson, to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force Days. The event stemmed from the Armed Forces' unification under one Department of Defense by then-President Harry S. Truman when he signed the National Security Act into law on July 26, 1947.
Armed Forces Day was also organised so that civilians could get more knowledge about the armed forces of the US and to acknowledge the role played by the military, highlighting the achievements of the US military throughout the years.

The only thing surprising about this is that it's not even higher than 75%
Existing in tightly packed concrete jungles living on top of each other is not a natural uplifting or healthy state for humans.

Survey: Americans prefer single-family homes, low-density living According to the survey, 75 percent of Americans think low densities are better for the environment, 60 percent think low-density neighborhoods are less congested, and 62 percent think they suffer less crime.

consider carefully before rejecting the offer of a Veteran's VA Loan because you fear an appraisal

Military families cope with hot housing market Military personnel relocating to the Colorado Springs area face the same issues other buyers and renters do — escalating home prices and rents, and competition for limited available units.
