Men of Honor

[Xizang]

I was watching the movie again last night and this morning was curious about the person portrayed by Cuba Gooding there. Carl Brashear. Did a google and found out he pass away just last week!

Carl Maxie Brashear (January 19, 1931 – July 25, 2006) was the first African American to become a U.S. Navy Master Diver in the early 1950s. In 2000, Brashear's military service was portrayed by Cuba Gooding, Jr. in the film Men of Honor.

truly an inspiring story he has.
