Marine Trio Coming to Charleston for an Auction Fundraiser

Marine Trio Coming to Charleston for an Auction Fundraiser

For Immediate Release

Charleston, WV- Saturday, September 7

 Marine trio coming to Charleston, WV for an auction fundraiser for a Gold Star Family Memorial Monument on Saturday, September 7. This trio consists of Marines Hershel “Woody” Williams, NASCAR driver Josh White and America’s Auctioneer Myers Jackson.

 To begin with, the Hershel Woody Williams Medal of Honor Foundation will be in Charleston, WV for a Stand in Honor Event. Woody is a USMC Veteran and Medal of Honor recipient from the Battle of Iwo Jima. The event will raise funds for a Gold Star Family Memorial Monument. But, this monument will differ from monuments in other cities. How? The Charleston, WV monument will be the largest erected to date since founder Woody Williams is from West Virginia.

 In fact, joining Woody for this auction fundraiser in conjunction with USVET.fund will be America’s Auctioneer Myers Jackson-USMC Veteran-and NASCAR driver Josh White-USMC Reserve member.

 First, Josh White is donating a special piece of memorabilia to the auction. A dress blues racing suit. Yet, this racing suit has a very interesting story behind it. Josh had purchased it to wear for his NASCAR truck debut. However, the suit did not arrive until the day following the race. So this racing suit has never been work. Josh was born and raised in West Virginia. Since he was a young boy, he was dreaming of racing. He began drag racing at the age of 16. Next he was racing a circle track. Eventually advancing to NASCAR.

 Second is an auctioneer who is a household name due to his role on the DIYNetwork hit tv series Texas Flip and Move. America’s Auctioneer Myers Jackson is as well the president of USVET.fund. Myers has twenty years experience as an auctioneer.  Veterans hold a special place in his heart. He therefore lends his skills and expertise to USVET.fund’s efforts of helping veteran causes and organizations raise funds for veterans.

 Therefore, make plans to be in Charleston, WV on Saturday, September 7th. A street fest full of events leads up to the auction event. Activities of the day include meeting Woody from 12pm-2pm, autographs and photos, live music, a 50/50 drawing, visits to the Mountain State Distillery and a Parade. A concert follows the auction.
