being no objection, Version Y was before the committee.
1:03:19 PM
JOSHUA TEMPEL, Staff to Senator Charlie Huggins, Alaska State
Legislature, explained that "The Moving Wall" is a half size
replica of the Vietnam War memorial in Washington, D.C. He
noted that the tour will include a stop in Cordova, which has
the highest per capita rate of Vietnam deaths in the U.S. He
informed the committee that [Version Y] changes the dates of the

1:06:01 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG mentioned a U.S. Navy Seabee from Hyder
who received the Congressional Medal of Honor in Vietnam. He
relayed that the community of Hyder has expressed interest in
honoring this man. This man was the only U.S. Navy Seabee to
receive a Congressional Medal of Honor in Vietnam and
Representative Gruenberg surmised that this man was the only
Alaska resident to receive the Congressional Medial of Honor in
Vietnam. Representative Gruenberg suggested including language
in this resolution encouraging the City of Hyder and the State
of Alaska to honor this man.
MR. TEMPEL responded that [the sponsor] would like to avoid
honoring individuals in SCR 21.
CHAIR LYNN agreed and suggested an additional resolution or
citation honoring this man from Hyder.
