Through their dedication to duty and relentless resolve, SEALs have “paid the bill” for #American freedoms for decades. The National Navy UDT SEAL Museum enlightens visitors as to the cost of elite preparedness. Be enlightened and visit @navyudtsealmusem today!

Memorial Day is a day to honor all Americans who died while in the military service. It is also a day of reverent celebration. It is a celebration of men and women who dared all, who gave all, so that we might continue to enjoy the freedoms and benefits of this great nation.

During the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum’s Memorial Day ceremony, three additional names were added to the National Navy SEAL Memorial, which is the only memorial in the world dedicated solely to U.S. Navy SEALs and their predecessors who were killed in action/killed in training. As the names of: Charles Keating IV, Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator, U.S. Navy SEAL (killed in action fighting ISIS in Iraq, May 3, 2016); Seth C. Lewis, Special Warfare Operator 1st Class (killed in training April 24, 2015); and Brett A. Marihugh, Special Warfare Operator 1st Class (killed in training April 25, 2015) were revealed the BUD/s bell was rang twice. At the conclusion of the names being added, Navy Taps was played by a bugler of the Navy Band, followed by a moment of silence.

 This year’s keynote speaker was Master Chief Harry Bologna (SEAL).  Although he was injured in combat losing both of his legs, he looks forward to continuing to inspire others as his way to continue helping “…make America greater than it already is.”  He also reflected upon the 288 names the National Navy SEAL Memorial now holds, remembering some as being brothers and teammates and sharing that their memory lives with him every day.

 Medal of Honor recipient Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward Byers (SEAL) was also in attendance during the unveiling of his name on the Medal of Honor statue, which depicts U.S. Navy SEALs Michael Thornton and Thomas Norris and includes the of all U.S. Navy SEAL Medal of Honor recipients.  He began speaking by first thanking God and his “Army of Angels” for protecting him and his fellow brothers.  He thanked his family and the community for their support.  He also reflected on his fallen brothers, saying “the 288 names on the Navy SEAL Memorial are hard to fathom.”  Since the inception of U.S. Navy SEALs, there have been approximately 15,000 SEALs and 50% of them were produced during World War II, which translates into about 150 SEALs per year after that period.  To lose even one SEAL is quite a loss within the Naval Special Warfare community.

Long Live the Brotherhood

I just left the #inlandregionalcenter memorial and had the pleasure of meeting the lady who is responsible for it. As I was leaving, she asked if she could say a prayer for me. As we prayed, I was so moved. It's people like Monica... @monica_proverbs31 who remind me there's hope & to remember the good in all of us. Because it exists. Monica, Thank you so much for all you're doing. You are a blessing. See you tomorrow🇺🇸😊 #SanBernardinoStrong #SoCal

Here's what selflessness looks like🇺🇸 Without any hesitation, hundreds of #firstresponders #lawenforcementofficers ran towards evil, to protect civilian life. Would you risk your life for someone you don't know? The next time you hear someone talking shit about law enforcement as a whole... Ask why they carry such disdain towards them? My theory is simple, is you don't like law enforcement, you are suspect. There's no logical reason to hate someone who's willing to give their life, to keep you safe. And before #thatguy comments on my post... Yes, I'm fully aware there are unethical LEOs. They're law enforcement officers, not saints. #thinblueline #firstresponders #SanBernardinoStrong #isupportlawenforcement #ifyoudontlikeitdontlook

Driving home yesterday, I took a route that passes directly by the Redlands residence of the two Islamic Terrorists... It was surreal to see just how close they were to my home. But as I approached, I saw something worth taking a photo of... #redwhiteandblue #SanBernardinoStrong #firstresponders #thinblueline

If our president refuses to say “Islamic” and “terrorism” in the same sentence, then something is very wrong. He denies the Islamic State has anything to do with Islam. Here are legitimate examples of Islamic Terrorism: 1. Sept. 11, 2001 was Islamic terrorism. 2. The Madrid train bombing was Islamic terrorism. 3. The London subway bombings were Islamic terrorism. 4. The Mumbai, India hotel attack was Islamic terrorism. 5. The Kenyan mall attack was Islamic terrorism. 6. The US. embassy/Benghazi attack was Islamic terrorism. 7. The murder of over 100 innocent little children at one school in Pakistan was Islamic terrorism. 8. The attack on Canada’s parliament was Islamic terrorism. 9. The Boston bombing was Islamic terrorism. 10. Fort Hood massacre was Islamic terrorism. 11. The beheadings and slaughter of thousands of women and children by Islamic State is Islamic terrorism. 12. The attack on the coffee shop in Australia was Islamic terrorism. 13. The attack and murder of CARTOONISTS in Paris was Islamic terrorism. 14. The massacre in Paris was Islamic Terrorism. 15. The massacre in San Bernardino was Islamic terrorism.
