For anyone connected to US Naval Special Warfare, this man was a legend.

He served from 1944 to 1990, one of the original SEAL's selected. They come no harder.

End of an era.

Yep. I've met him a couple of times. I didn't really know him, I pretty much stood at the fringes in awe. I had heard the stories before I ever actually met him. Really a great guy though, he went out of his way to make folks welcome and part of the team. Even if you were just a rookie boat guy doing a support gig.

Truly a great leader. I didn't know anyone with anything less than total respect for the guy. The things that man accomplished for this nation will never all be told. There won't be anymore like him, that is for sure. Sad

Nope. I saw that too. I'm still very very surprised by the outcome. But now that I'm older, I'm starting to understand how the balance, even in a man that was an athletic monster his entire life, could have been an issue.
