Dear Friends,
On Saturday, September 27 , 2025, the Woody Williams Foundation will proudly host the 3 annual Woody Williams Legacy of Service Celebration in Louisville, KY. This special evening honors the enduring mission of Hershel “Woody” Williams, Medal of Honor recipient, who dedicated his life to serving others—especially Gold Star Families. The event will highlight the growing impact of the Foundation and the legacy Woody left behind.
This year, we celebrate the addition of several new Gold Star Families Memorial Monuments, expanding our reach to over 220 points of service across the country. With more than 20 active Outreach locations, we continue to bring meaningful support directly to the families and communities who need it most. Each monument now serves as a mission hub, allowing us to deliver programs focused on education, outreach, and connection. These locations help us identify the unique needs of Gold Star Families and respond with purpose. We’re also deepening our relationships across the Veteran Serving community, expanding access to resources and ensuring long-term care for the families of the fallen. Your continued support helps make this possible. Whether you were moved by Woody himself or feel called to support military families, we invite you to stand with us. We look forward to seeing you in Louisville for a night of remembrance, purpose, and gratitude.
With appreciation,
Dr. Mark E. Harris USMC (RET.)
President & CEO
WOODY WILLIAMS FOUNDATION
