Devotion picture

Factual error: Lieutenant Hudner comments that he went into the Naval Academy right after Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor happened in December 1941 and he couldn't have gotten into the Naval Academy until 1942. Then he says, "The war ended a month before he graduated." The Naval Academy is a four-year school. That means he wouldn't have graduated until 1946, a year after the war ended.
