Watch #LIVE coverage of the @USNavy's commissioning of the #USSThomasHudner and stay tuned for remarks from #GenDunford on his legacy of service. ⬇️
#GenDunford: I'm here as the son of a #Marine who was on the ground fighting in the Chosin Reservoir. On 4 Dec 1950, Ensign Brown and Lieutenant Hudner were supporting my father and his fellow Marines. #USSThomasHudner @USNavy Image
#GenDunford: I first met him in the late 1980s...someone pointed him out and then gave me his background. I went over hoping to shake the hand of a true American hero. In that initial engagement, I was struck by Captain Thomas Hudner's courtesy and his humility #USSThomasHudner Image
#GenDunford's message to the #USSThomasHudner crew: This ship should sustain the memory of Captain Hudner's 3 decades of naval service and his continued public service after taking off the uniform. This ship should honor the memory of a humble servant leader...a man of character. ImageImage

#GenDunford on #DDay75: "On the 75th anniversary of the #Normandy Landings, we express our utmost gratitude to our Nation’s World War II veterans. Their unwavering dedication and devotion to our country and our way of life cannot be overstated. (1/4)
As we remember their sacrifices on the beaches of Northern France, we are reminded of a simple adage: ‘Weapons of war come and go, but the great constant is the people.’ (2/4) #DDay75thAnniversary
They answered the world’s call for help without hesitation or indecision in the midst of great peril to themselves and their fellow service members. Without their immeasurable sacrifices, this experiment we call democracy would no longer exist. (3/4) #HonorThem
