The three US Navy sailors who were killed in the Pensacola Naval Air Station shooting will be honored at the Army-Navy football game after they gave their lives to protect others during the attack
Sailors killed at Pensacola Navy base saved lives when they ran toward the gunman, officials sayThe three sailors -- Airman Mohammed Sameh Haitham, 19; Airman Apprentice Cameron Scott Walters, 21; and Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson, 23 -- were killed earlier this month when a gunman opened fire at the naval base in Pensacola, Florida. All three ran toward the shooter to protect others, said Capt. Tim Kinsella, the commanding officer of Naval Air Station Pensacola.
Some of the leadership and midshipmen wore the Naval Aviation Schools Command patches straight from the flight suits of Watson's Pensacola classmates, the statement read.
