16x20 Unframed Photo from the USS Hershel Woody Williams Commissioning Reception. Photo taken aboard the reception ceremony of the USS Hershel "Woody" Williams. EBS4. The motto is "Peace We Seek, Peace We Keep". This photo captures the moment as Woody looks out across the ship, his name sake, and he is in the company of the highest ranking command and generals and admirals serving the United States of America. He is surrounded by countless enlisted men, even the sergeant major of the Marine Corps Tony Black. And countless veterans of all branches of service who came to pay tribute.
