@Geri_Bell Shameful misuse of the words. Google Audie Murphy, Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks, Thomas Bennett. They chose their paths.

Next the questions:

Is being a victim a worthy distinction for having a USN ship named in one's honor, and who would want to serve on a military vessel named in honor of a target?
