USS JASON DUNHAM
DG-109

The USS JASON DUNHAM is the US Navy’s most advanced Arleigh Burke Class when built. She was commissioned in Port Everglades on November 13, 2010.  

The warship is named after heroic United States Marine Corporal Jason Dunham who sacrificed his life by using his helmet to cover a hand grenade dropped by an insurgent.  His spontaneous action saved the lives of two fellow Marines during Operation Iraqi Freedom in April 2004. Jason Dunham sustained serious injuries from the blast and died eight days later. He was 22. President George W. Bush honored Jason Dunham for his actions with the issue of the Medal of Honor Citation posthumously. He is the first Marine Medal of Honor recipient for Operation Iraqi Freedom and the first Marine to receive the medal since the Vietnam War.

This primarily wood USS Jason Dunham model was built in 2011 for a US navy academy in North Carolina.
