Keel laid for MoH Marine’s namesake DDG

BATH IRON WORKS


Dan and Debra Dunham, parents of the late Cpl. Jason Dunham, stand April 11 in front of the keel of what will be the USS Jason Dunham, a destroyer named in their son's honor. Cpl. Dunham was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously in 2007 for diving on a live grenade in Iraq in 2004, saving the lives of two fellow Marines. He died from his injuries after being sent back to the U.S.
