For his actions that day, Ensign Ernie was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross. His remains were not recovered until many years after VF-17 had been decommissioned and the Skull and Crossbones insignia had been adopted by Fighter Squadron EIGHTY-FOUR. After it's commissioning in 1959, in an attempt to trace the history of its squadron insignia, the story of Ensign Ernie was revealed to VF-84 by Jack's family and, upon their suggestion and consent, Jack's skull and femurs were encases in glass and presented to the squadron, thereby fulfilling Jack's last request of being "remembered with the Jolly Rogers."
Mental. I love this. When I first saw this story I thought it was some random Facebook BS.
Fly Navy.
ENS Jack Ernie

Units ( not patches) that existed prior were allowed to keep patches. inactivated units that are reactivated have to design new emblems if the old emblem has a skull or skeleton.

- Robert Todd Lincoln, son of the former president, was involved in 3 presidential assassinations (his dad, Garfield, and McKinley).
Was he ever arrested?
I couldn't think of a better word to use. He was either at the event, or saw the presidents on their death beds.
