"Marine Hero's Legacy Lives On: Navy's Latest Destroyer Honors Courageous Company Savior"
The U.S. Navy has christened its newest Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, the USS Harvey C. Barnum (DDG-124), in honor of Lt. Harvey C. Barnum, a Marine who received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War. In December 1965, Barnum led his company out of a dire situation when they were cut off from the rest of the battalion and surrounded by enemy fire. He retrieved the company commander and radio operator, reorganized his Marines, and called in artillery fire while repeatedly exposing himself to enemy fire. Barnum's Marines were eventually evacuated, and he was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1967.
