Summary[edit]

Description
English: The gravesite of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Waverly Woodson, Jr. in Section 69 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., Oct. 11, 2023. A ceremony was held this day to at his gravesite to present Woodson’s wife, JoAnn, with the Bronze Star and the Combat Medic Badge he earned during his service. 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)
