Battleship Cove's Vice President, Medal
of Honor recipient Capt. Thomas J. Hudner, Jr., USN (Ret)
A
MAN OF METTLE & MEDAL: Medal of Honor
recipient Thomas Hudner knows what loyalty means. When enemy flak sent his wingman,
Jesse Brown, crashing into the snow-covered slopes of the Chosin Reservoir, Hudner
promptly crash-landed his F-4U Corsair in a heroic attempt to save him. As smoke
plumed from Brown's burning wreckage and nearby Communist troops threatened, Hudner
packed snow into the flames and struggled to extricate Brown from his plane. For
Fall River native Tom Hudner, leaving a shipmate behind was not an option.
At
Battleship Cove, we are dedicated to preserving the distinguished cultural legacy
of veterans like Tom Hudner and Jesse Brown, and we invite you to join as a member
of our team.
