We called him ‘Haaji

Muslim???

The cause of his death is currently unknown.

They can't even run a competent cover up any more.

Thank you for posting this. We need more uplifting stories of those who have worked hard and served others well.

May God be with him and his family. Ian and Conner sound like fine Irish names.

Um no, dude. It says he moved to the US from India when he was a kid, served in a VFA, worked hard, got educated, served his nation, and was last posted as CO of the USS Truman. By all accounts, he was a good guy. Lets show some respect.

Um no, dude.

So what IS his religion, since you know what it is not?

Hajii was his call sign as a fighter pilot. Remember the movie Top Gun ... you had Maverick, Ice Man, etc.

My son serves on the Truman, and quite frankly, your assumptions are vile. He was a well respected leader.

Ashlyn Tubbs has taken journalistic liberty in putting a period after the S in Harry’s name. How helpful!

The period is acceptable.

True, even Harry did occasionally, but only because someone told him he should as a matter of style. But his middle name was "S". My middle name is John. I don't put a period after it.
