Harvey Milk, a pedophile who lured teenagers into running away to have sex with him, should never have had a naval vessel named after him.
Oscar Peterson however is another matter.
Peterson received the Medal of Honor posthumously after almost incredible heroism.
For extraordinary courage and conspicuous heroism above and beyond the call of duty while in charge of a repair party during an attack on the U.S.S. Neosho by enemy Japanese aerial forces on 7 May 1942. Lacking assistance because of injuries to the other members of his repair party and severely wounded himself, Peterson, with no concern for his own life, closed the bulkhead stop valves and in so doing received additional burns which resulted in his death. His spirit of self-sacrifice and loyalty, characteristic of a fine seaman, was in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life in the service of his country
There were a lot of heroes during WWII who went into enemy fire, but if you can imagine that Peterson suffered, already severely burned, he went on closing bulkheads, regardless of the pain.
By contrast, Harvey Milk lured teens.
Not exactly a contest. Sorry Harvey. There are still real heroes out there who need honoring.
What a brave man. And he must have been in excruciating pain all the while still doing his best. Thank you Daniel, as always, very informative.
I was just reading about the fascinating Battle of Midway. Plenty of heroes. One of the few naval battles in history where a numerically inferior naval force decisively defeated a much larger naval force.
You should watch the recent movie, “Midway.” it’s very good. An all star cast, too, just like the one from the 1970s.
And it sticks close to the facts.
Yeah. That reminded me, I read several volumes of the Magic Intercepts (intercepted Japanese code) which I found in one of the UC Berkeley libraries.
Carter has a Submarine named f or him Trump should have Super Carrier named for Him and you can bet the reaction from the Nations Bottom Feeders/Sewer Dwellers we called the M.S. Media
Sec. Hegseth is cleaning up the mess left by the liberal fools. Hegseth also will not tolerate transgenders in the military. Hegseth has established prayer at the pentagon on a regular basis. Saving our military is a big part in saving our country.
Harvey Milk should have a submarine named after him.
Submarines are long, hard and filled with seamen.
