At virtually every commencement speech he’s delivered, Williams has made a point to salute veterans and service members in attendance. The most recent instance of him sharing the false story about the helicopter mission came last month during an on-air tribute for a former soldier.
His subsequent apology only exacerbated the situation. Williams insisted he had made an honest mistake when he claimed to be aboard a helicopter that was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade and said that he only wanted to pay homage to the veteran.
