Froggy Visit to SEAL Memorial

Matthew Heidt of Froggy Ruminations tells the story of his trip to the memorial for the fallen US Navy SEALs. It's an excellent read.

"I made the travel plans somewhat impulsively, not really thinking the trip through. After purchasing the non-refundable plane tickets, it hit me that I was going to a memorial for 5 SDV guys that I had never met who were stationed at a Team that was a community within a community, separated from the West Coast and East Coast Teams geographically and culturally. I figured I would know a couple of guys, but would they remember me? After all, it has been 5 long years since I wore a Trident every day, and I wasn’t sure how or if I would fit in with a bunch of salty combat veterans. Would they look at me and ask, 'So you flew out here from LA, and you didn’t even know any of these guys?'"
