The grandson of New York Local 2741 member Skip Dunham, Jason Dunham of Scio,
NY, was fatally injured in 2004 when he threw himself on a grenade during a
fight with insurgents. He was the first Marine to receive the Medal of Honor
since the Vietnam War. The destroyer is slated to be christened in 2009 and be
ready for active duty a year later.
