On
the
Road
Christening
of
the
USNS
Hershel
"Woody"
Williams
Watching
the
USNS
Hershel
“Woody”
Williams
christening
by
Woody’s
side
was
one
of
my
proudest
moments.
This
ship
christening
was
a
long
time
coming,
and
a
physical
representation
of
the
life
and
legacy
of
a
renowned
West
Virginian
and
Medal
of
Honor
recipient.
This
day
would
not
have
been
possible
without
Ron
Wroblewski
and
Woody’s
fellow
Marines
and
friends
who
advocated
for
years
and
I
was
proud
to
play
a
part
in
getting
this
done.
I
was
honored
to
help
a
fellow
Marion
County
boy
receive
the
recognition
he
deserves.
This
day
is
a
result
of
Woody’s
lifelong
dedication
to
public
service,
his
brave
actions
in
the
field,
and
his
commitment
to
West
Virginia.

Figaretti's
Restaurant
in
Wheeling
It
was
my
pleasure to
write
a
congressional
record
honoring
Figaretti's
Restaurant
for
recently
being
named
the
best
Italian
Restaurant
in
West
Virginia.
Owning
a
business
is
one
of
the
most
challenging
and
rewarding
experiences,
and
doing
it
as
a
family
makes
it
all
the
more
special.
Again,
congratulations
to
the
Figaretti
Family!
