A Posthumous Badge and Medal Presentation Ceremony is held for U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Waverly Woodson Jr. in Section 69, at Arlington National Cemetery on 11 October 2023 - 2
The Bronze Star and the Combat Medic Badge lay on a tray in Section 69 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., Oct. 11, 2023. These awards, earned by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Waverly Woodson, Jr., were presented to his wife, JoAnn, posthumously during a ceremony near Woodson’s gravesite. Woodson was a First U.S. Army Soldier and on June 6, 1944, he was part of the first wave of Soldiers who stormed Omaha Beach at Normandy, France during D-Day. Woodson was cited for bravery during this event, attending to Soldiers as well as saving wounded men from drowning, all after being wounded himself. These actions earned Woodson the Bronze Star and the Combat Medic Badge. Woodson was never formally presented the Bronze Star because he left Europe quickly to deploy for Japan. He was just approved for the Combat Medic Badge this past August. (U.S. Army photo by Elizabeth Fraser / Arlington National Cemetery / released)
