Homeland Magazine is running an online petition to have the retired U.S. Navy Capt. E. Royce Williams awarded the Medal of Honor.

On Nov. 18, 1952, Williams defended Task Force 77 against seven MiG-15s flown by Soviet pilots in his Grumman F9F-5 Panther.
During the dogfight, Williams shot down three MiGs while a fourth crashed while returning to base.
His plane was so badly shot up by the Soviets that it had 263 holes in it.
The event was classified for 50-years until the Russians confirmed the incident in 1992.
Extremely deserving of MOH
