In a recent appearance on Fox News, Virginia's Republican Senate candidate, Hung Cao, disclosed a poignant episode from his tenure in the U.S. Navy's Special Operations unit.
Cao, who is currently locked in a fierce electoral battle with U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, recounted his involvement in the recovery of John F. Kennedy Jr.'s body and plane.
According to Gateway Pundit, during his conversation with Fox News's Laura Ingraham, Cao said, As a Navy diver, I recovered John F. Kennedy Jr. and his plane. This revelation offers a glimpse into the candidate's past, highlighting his service to the nation in a time of national tragedy.
In a more detailed account to the National Review earlier this year, Cao elaborated on the circumstances surrounding the recovery mission. He stated, John F. Kennedy Jr. crashed in July of 1999, and we were at my commanding officers house that night. People had been searching for days. He added, We were able to recover the body of, really, Americas son and lay him to rest.
Cao's military service extends beyond this high-profile recovery. He shared, Ive done many salvages in my lifetime, bringing up planes, tanks, just things at the bottom of the ocean. The first part of anything that happens in the United States starts with salvage, so we can bring back the American spirit.
The Virginia Senate race has been marked by intense debates, with Cao demonstrating strong performance. His military service, particularly his involvement in the recovery of John F. Kennedy Jr., adds a layer of depth to his candidacy, underscoring his commitment to the nation and his ability to handle high-pressure situations. As the race continues, voters will undoubtedly weigh these experiences in their decision-making process.
