πΊπΈππ» Honored to meet and shake hands with the last living Korean War Medal of Honor recipient Capt. E. Royce Williams, USN. His handshake came with a challenge coin that he gifted to me in gratitude for playing the Bagpipes this Memorial Day as we gathered to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. This will be a moment I will always hold close to my heart. I could feel my WW2 Navy Grandfather with me as I shook his hand. I am eternally grateful for the service and sacrifice that has been given.
As he left Riverside National Cemetery I was honored to play Anchors Away for this incredible man. βοΈ
Thank you Capt. E. Royce Williams for your service in WW2, Korea and Vietnam. You continue to carry the spirit of all those men and women who sacrificed and died for this country. ππ»πΊπΈ
