I had a neighbor who was in WWII in the Navy. I think he was a Seal before there were Seals. Some of the stories he told were incredible. He told me he was once dropped off in the water at an island near Japan with a knife, a handgun and a watch.... Was given his orders and told to be at a certain place at a certain time - If he wasn't there he was on his own. Can you imagine? I could sit for hours and listen to him. He never detailed what he did, but just listening and reading between the lines, he was a Badass!

RIP Patriot Beal. Thank you for your sacrifices.
