USS Indianapolis Crew Awarded Congressional Gold Medal on 75th Anniversary of Sinking

The survivors of one of World War II’s worst naval disasters were awarded Congressional Gold Medals in a ceremony last Friday.

In the virtual ceremony, House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) presented the medal to the survivors from the crew of USS Indianapolis (CA-35) ahead of the 75th anniversary of the July 30,1945, sinking of the heavy cruiser by a Japanese submarine in the closing months of the war.

“On behalf of the 1,195 Sailors and Marines who served aboard USS Indianapolis, it is an honor to receive a Congressional Gold Medal,” Harold Bray, 93, the youngest remaining survivor and chair of the USS Indianapolis CA-35 Survivors Organization, said in a Wednesday statement provided to USNI News.

“Eight survivors remain today, and we are proud to represent our shipmates who are no longer with us. We are very grateful to Congress for this special recognition.”

It's good to know that Congress has nothing of importance to do,and have the free time to pay someone to design and cast  "I'ma vic-tum!" badges.

The Dems didn't "cancel" them for having delivered the A-bomb?

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

God bless these guys but I don't think I'd have anything to do with wretched thing that now passes for Speaker. Even virtually.

What an insult to all military men and especially WW II vets to be presented a medal from this woman who hates the military.

75th Anniversary?  Hey, that reminds me:  Next Thursday is the 75th Anniversary of Hiroshima....
