Medal of Honor Recipient Takes Note of BELLVIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL Students' Actions

  • Teachers and students were humbled and elated to receive word that a class project to honor our nation's veterans received recognition from one of only two living World War II Medal of Honor recipients--Chief Warrant Officer (Ret.) Hershel "Woody" Williams. 

    Details of this story were discussed at the March 4, 2021 Military Council meeting. This heart-felt email thread between Woody and Bellview Middle School staff recounts the impact that BMS students had on him while he paid a visit to Pensacola's Veterans Memorial Park in November, 2020.
