Sue,
It was given very little fanfare in his hometown. perhaps out of grief to the family. However, I can assure you that Ensign Hickman is still remembered and revered in San Diego. Some of those children that were in the play yard are now approaching seventy years of age, but only because Ensign Hickman sacrificed his life so that they coud live theirs.
Thank you for your comment,
Kevin

Thank you for that information. I lived in Iowa & never heard his story.
