He started his service during World War II and was among the first troops to enter Japan after the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been destroyed by those two atomic bombs.

The AP story relayed by Military Times barely does him justice.

    There is a two hour special tonight on History Channel, 1900, covering the history of the Navy SEALs. It’s 1900 CST. Gonna be watching.

    Rest In Peace Sir. An amazing career of service. I’ve read of his support of his troops and how he would stand between them and the higher ups. Forever Grateful…
