 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake. CNO will present the Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale Leadership Award during a ceremony at the Pentagon Hall of Heroes December 4th. The award was established in honor of Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale, one of the most highly decorated officers in naval history. It is presented annually to two commissioned officers, O5 or below, who command a single unit and serve as examples of excellence in leadership. Stockdale served as a pilot during the Vietnam War and in 1965 he became a prisoner of war after his aircraft was shot down. After the war, he received the Medal of Honor. He ended his naval career in 1979 as the president of the Naval War College. Notable Stockdale Award winners include CNO Admiral Jonathan Greenert and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen. Watch the award presentation live at Navy.mil.
