Friends of the SEAL Trio awaiting Court Martial!

You've stood in line long enough. We now have the info you need for sending checks or for wiring money directly into the account (which is in the First Western Trust Bank, whose president is SEAL Lindsay Thomas Kough, Class 158).

Using the information below, either mail or wire-transfer your contributions to help "The Trio." Make your checks payable to "Warrior Legacy Foundation," and write "Warrior Defense Fund" (that's us) on the memo line. We have a totally separate account within a much-larger account.

FIRST WESTERN TRUST BANK
5460 South Quebec Street, Suite 200
Greenwood Village, CO 80111
ABA: 102007011
Credit Account Number: 2045486
Credit Account Name:
Warrior Legacy Foundation Warrior Defense Fund

There is a Pay Pal account already set up, and links will be on the Warrior Legacy Foundation site; www.freetheseals.com; and a number of other www friendly sites.

In closing, you should be aware that this account is overseen by a 6-person Board of Advisors, at least two of whom are SEALs and another a lady who is VERY active in the military-support community. We have done all we know how to do to get this thing on the road and to incorporate strict oversight procedures over how the money is spent. I believe that we have done pretty well setting up this account.

Fire in the hole!

Thanks Doc for Woody's email address. I was also down there in KeyWest (61-64) aboard the USS PENGUIN ASR 12. Used to a lot of sport diving with Shorty Lions (UWSS) and MDV Joe Tallerico. Joe died and have'nt heard about Shorty for years.

Injured SEAL gets help for future

John Leptich, Tribune Columnist August 2, 2007 - 3:10AM

Despite losing sight in both eyes to a sniper’s bullet a year ago today in Iraq, former Navy SEAL Ryan Job isn’t into self-pity. Nor does he expect sympathy from others.
“This is just something that happened to me,” Job said. “I can’t change it. What are you going to do, stop living? It just made me take a different approach. I had goals and plans that had to change.”
A single bullet took Job’s right eye, damaged his optic nerve and wiped out his dream of becoming a commercial pilot. But it didn’t damage his mind, attitude, drive and spirit.

Hi Doc,

I have noticed the guy from LDNN named Thang who was assigned in Nam Can Team, which Darryl Young wrote about his turned coat. (Page:319 - 320 of SEALs, UDT, Frogmen: Men Under Pressure) I have met Darryl Young from my home a few years before his death.
I have someone who knew him and he is still living somewhere in Go Cong near Saigon Capital. He became a high ranking officer after Vietnam fall and working for the bastard Commies.

You remember Thang is never interested on me and of course I am not the one wanted to talk or see him too.
Best regards,

Kiet Nguyen

GMGCM Everett Barrett SEAL USN-Ret. Class 6 R.I.P.

It is with great sadness that the UDT-SEAL Association informs the membership on the passing of GMGCM Everett Barrett - Class 6.

GMGCM Everett Barrett passed away early on 01/14/2010 following a long battle with cancer.

Everett is survived by his wife Blondel (Del) and son Frank. He is preceded in death by his daughter Debbie

Master Chief Barrett served in UDT 22, Seal Team 2 and EOD. He mentored many a young sailor and pushed them to be more then they dreamed they could be. Master Chief had the voice of a man that learned to whisper in a sawmill.

There will not be any service or memorial at Everett request. At this time, there may be a gathering at the Lake Wales Florida Moose Lodge on Saturday 23 January to toast and roast his life. If the Association receives details on the gathering, we forward to the membership.
