This year, Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial will honor Jesse LeRoy Brown and LT. Thomas Hudner. Jesse LeRoy Brown was a United States Navy Officer and was the first African-American aviator to complete the U.S. Navy's basic flight training program.

Thomas Hudner Jr., a naval aviator who retired as captain, received the first Medal of Honor of the Korean War. Today he is the conflict’s last living Navy recipient. He was awarded “uncommon valor,” for crash-landing his plane in enemy territory in an attempt to save the life of his downed wingman, Ensign Jesse L. Brown. Brown died from injuries sustained in the crash.

Our ceremony will be on May 31st, 2023 from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. (PDT)
