Newsweek: Over 250,000 People Sign Petition to Reinstate Fired Navy Captain [View all]

Over 250,000 People Sign Petition to Reinstate Fired Navy Captain Who Pleaded to Protect Crew From Coronavirus Spread

"Captain Crozier was unjustly relieved of duty of the air craft carrier CVN-71 USS Theodoore Roosevelt on April 2nd 2020. His crime was asking for help regarding the safety of his crew," states the new petition, which has acquired its quarter-million signatures over a period of four days. "His actions possibly saved many lives," it continues. "Although he was fired, his plan to safely remove crew members was still implemented. He is a hero who should be rewarded."

On April 5, the Navy reported that additional efforts were underway to support the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt crew's recovery. Crozier has since tested positive for COVID-19. - Newsweek

Now 265,000 and climbing.
