Awesome gesture from the sailors of the USS Constitution.
"During the Korean War, in 1950, Captain Hudner’s wingman, Jesse Brown–the Navy’s first black carrier pilot–was shot down during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Hudner intentionally crashed his own plane to try to save his friend, an action that led to his being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor."

Great story SSG Carlos Madden. Thanks for sharing Carlos, I am a big fan of our MOH recipients and volunteered at the Boston convention a while back.
