And you know it. I wasn't a SEAL. Just a lowly airplane mechanic. But, I did have the privilege of knowing a few SEALS when I was in the Navy. Amazing Dudes. (And just a tad crazy, but in a good way.) My Division Officer, LCDR Armstrong, was a Vietnam veteran and an F-4 pilot who was shot down eight miles behind enemy lines, and fought his way back, until he was found nearly dead, by US Army troops in 1971. He was missing one ear (It was just a hole, but he could still hear.) and had an ugly scar across his abdomen where he had been knifed and crawled the last quarter mile or so holding his own guts in.

I feel honored to have met them all.
