Importantly, Williams, who earned his decoration while holding onto a 70-pound M2 flamethrower on Iwo Jima, where he used it like a surgeon, is the last MoH recipient from the Pacific War.

America lost tons of soldiers in that battle. Much more than the Japs did...

And to this day we can be grateful that we're not speaking German!
