I had the privilege of seeing Stockdale and Fluckey at a question/answer forum at Annapolis around 1988. Their demeanors were almost complete opposites. Stockdale came across as serious and proud of his Naval Academy heritage. Fluckey was humorous and downplayed his Naval Academy heritage (I can easily see him hiding beer in the shower). Both are/were true heroes in my book.

The MOH Society just reopened its renovated Museum in Mt. Pleasant (Charleston), SC at Patriots Point Maritime Museum. I think they moved it there from the Intrepid sometime in the late 80s-early 90s.
