Every Medal of Honor story is compelling, but this one made me say "wow" out loud when I read it. All I can say is fair winds and following seas to the ship and her namesake. That is quite a legacy to live up to.

And a massive pair of cajones.
I am glad he was able to live long enough to be honored this way while still alive.

SN Greg Wright - I agree, pretty much the Navy saying "May this ship be as badass as you are."
