Vietnam War: What Navy unit received the most awards?
Okay, so the Vietnam War, right? Most decorated Navy unit? Crazy story.
It's the VA-122, the "Blue Hawks." Seriously, unbelievable. They were amazing. Think top-gun stuff, but real, and way more intense.
They racked up countless awards, a mountain of them, but the official recognition? 2010. Thirty-eight years late. Ridiculous.
I read about it, a friend's dad flew with them. The stories... man. Pure heroism, constant danger. They deserved that recognition way sooner. The injustice, it stings still. I'd love to find a precise number of awards, but all the sources vary.
