Land of the Free BECAUSE of the BRAVE!

This was the reply from my niece about the obituary:

I saw that you posted this, what an interesting life he led. The Seals have a large presence at our base, NAB Little Creek, and in Virginia Beach. It's really sad though that we've had to organize close to a dozen memorials for them in the past few years. At my shop we print poster-size photos for the services and we get to see pics of the big burly dudes during their 'softie' moments, with girlfriends, wives, parents and kids... it's very sad. But, there are some men out there who are definitely made for that kind of lifestyle... gotta harness that energy somehow! And as I heard someone say on the radio a few days ago... we're "The Land of The Free, BECAUSE of The Brave" and these guys epitomize that sentiment.
