Scio, NY (WBEN) - A Marine from the Allegany town of Scio who gave his life to save those of some fellow soldiers in Iraq 3-years ago, will be honored by the Navy.

The United States has already granted Jason Dunham the Medal of Honor for his act of bravery and heroism, and now the Navy plans to name its newst ship the USS Jason Dunham.

Imagine the pride his family is feeling right now. I realize a medal and a ship don't bring Jason Dunham back to life, but they will remind people of his heroism for many years to come.
