Re-naming ceremony this weekend at Huntington VA Medical Center

A ceremony to rename the Huntington VA Medical Center will be held Sunday. The hospital will be renamed the Hershel “Woody” Williams VA Medical Center in honor of West Virginia’s only living Medal of Honor recipient. It’s the second time Congress has suspended major rules for Williams’ name. Typically ships and V-A hospitals are only named for people after they’ve passed away. Williams has lived to see his name on both.
