Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for honoring US Navy veteran Gordon Pai‘ea Chung-Hoon who was the first Asian American to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland with the class of 1934.
For his actions while commanding the USS Sigsbee, Chung-Hoon received a Navy Cross and Silver Star.
Kudos to Gordon Chung-Hoon.
Rest in peace Gordon Chung-Hoon.

Admiral Gordon Chung Hoon

Asian American and Pacific Islanders: Gordon Pai‘ea Chung-Hoon
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Month, and this series of short profile videos is meant to commemorate some of the US Navy's "firsts." Gordon Pai'ea Chung-Hoon was the first Asian American to graduate from the Naval Academy and the first to reach flag rank. His naval career spanned more than three decades and two major U.S. conflicts.
