Dear: Thomas j Hudner

My name is Juan Soto. I am a cadet in junior r.o.t.c at Farragut high school in Chicago, ill. I am also a sergeant (sgt) at the academy i had also join the honor guard team in the academy and im trying to get better to have a higher rank. I will like to honor you wit everything you had done for our country and wit the metal of honor. That Medal of Honor you have earned was because of the life and risking your self just by doing your job in the air forcer. On April 13 of 1951 was your day the day you had earn that medal of honor for your brave job .

Ones again I am thanking you for everything you did for your country and I know you were just doing your job but the way you had save those other pilots was a great job and order you just made for your self because no one ells will stop and save those pilots even do you were in the air flying witch at that moment you drop down to save them. The first one was a pilot that was hurt and had been shot by the enemies and when you had land in the ground the pilot was hurt and you save him from the air plane into safety.

This orders that you had done were not given to you were because you had did sided to do because u were just doing your job but it was much more than that you may ask your self y did I earn this medal if only I was doing my job, well the reasons were because you save life and did much more than you had need it to do. Also many of those who had earn this Medal of Honor were brave soldiers and had done something good for there country, the American flag and for much more need it god bless America for this brave soldiers that sever our country not only in the air force but also the navy, and army.

Thomas j Hudner



Hudner attended the prestigious Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts before entering the U.S. Naval Academy, graduating in 1946. Following service in surface ships and ashore, he attended flight school and was designated a Naval Aviator in August 1949. Later that year, he was assigned to Fighter Squadron 32 (VF-32) aboard USS Leyte (CV-32).
On 4 December 1950, while serving with VF-32 during the Korean War flying F4U-4 Corsair fighters in support of United Nations forces, he crash-landed his own plane near the Chosin reservoir in an effort to rescue Ensign Jesse L. Brown, another VF-32 pilot whose own F4U-4 Corsair had been shot down. He found Ensign Brown severely wounded and pinned in his cockpit by metal wreckage. Lt. Hudner worked bravely to free the injured pilot, despit severe cold, and having no tools at his disposal apart from a small hand ax. For his heroism on that occasion, Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Hudner was awarded the Medal of Honor. Hudner was presented with the Medal of Honor by President Harry S. Truman on 13 April 1951, during a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden. His was the first Navy Medal of Honor awarded for actions in the Korean War.
Following his tour with VF-32, Thomas J. Hudner held a variety of training, operational and staff assignments. He commanded Training Squadron 24 (VT-24) in 1965-66 and then served as Executive Officer of USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63). During the early 1970s, Captain Hudner was Head of Aviation Technical Training in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. He retired from the Navy in February 1973 with the rank of Captain.
After retiring, Hudner worked as a management consultant, and, from 1991 to 1999, served as Commissioner for the Massachusetts Department of Veterans' Services. He appeared in a 1999 miniseries documentary, The Korean War: Fire and Ice, aired by the History Channel.
As of 2001, he was living in Concord, Massachusetts, with his wife, Georgea.
Medal of Honor citation
Lt. (J.G.) Hudner's official Medal of Honor citation reads:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as a pilot in Fighter Squadron 32, while attempting to rescue a squadron mate whose plane struck by antiaircraft fire and trailing smoke, was forced down behind enemy lines. Quickly maneuvering to circle the downed pilot and protect him from enemy troops infesting the area, Lt. (J.G.) Hudner risked his life to save the injured flier who was trapped alive in the burning wreckage. Fully aware of the extreme danger in landing on the rough mountainous terrain and the scant hope of escape or survival in subzero temperature, he put his plane down skillfully in a deliberate wheels-up landing in the presence of enemy troops. With his bare hands, he packed the fuselage with snow to keep the flames away from the pilot and struggled to pull him free. Unsuccessful in this, he returned to his crashed aircraft and radioed other airborne planes, requesting that a helicopter be dispatched with an ax and fire extinguisher. He then remained on the spot despite the continuing danger from enemy action and, with the assistance of the rescue pilot, renewed a desperate but unavailing battle against time, cold, and flames. Lt. (J.G.) Hudner's exceptionally valiant action and selfless devotion to a shipmate sustain and enhance the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.
