The following is a list of United States Navy UDT/SEALs who have laid down their lives since the outbreak of WWII:
“My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect…Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail.” The Brotherhood

I purchased this M4P in college. I was going to change the world with my photojournalism. That career has come and gone but this chunk of metal and glass is still around. Most of my life has been seen through that lenses. I just got back from FL where it still works fine.
