I had the privilege of attending Ty Woods' funeral this morning at the North Island Naval Air Station Chapel in Coronado. Ty and Glen Doherty are former SEALs and State Department contractors who came to the aid of the US Ambassador to Libya during the attack on the Benghazi Consulate. Ty and Glen were not assigned to the Ambassador's security detail. However, when the attack against the Consulate came, they ran toward the sound of gunfire and and defended the facility and the Ambassador for several hours against a numerically superior assault force, and went out like rock stars after planting dozens of those scumbags.
Ty's widow, Dorothy, delivered an inspiring eulogy with more grace, poise, and fervor than I have ever witnessed from the spouse of a fallen warrior. I wish I had the entire thing on tape, as it should be read by the nation on the anniversary of 9/11 next year. Here are two quotes that I will never forget.
"It is easy to write a book about being a Navy SEAL, but it is very hard to write an obituary for one."
"To all the Operators here today I give you this charge: Rid the world of those savages. I'll say it again, RID THE WORLD OF THOSE SAVAGES!"
Me too: 1966.
Amen to that woman.
Surely this will be the challenge of this century.
Most of the world is moving ahead, but the Jihadi savages want to go back to some crazy, primitive time. And they will chop off your head, or murder their own children in the quest to get there.
I do blame Bush for missing the point on 9/11, I’d like not to be in war with Islam, but Islam must lay down arms first.
RIP all who were murdered in Benghazi.
I hope the American people remember your sacrifice on election day. And vote against the man who “turned in” that night.
Tagline change.
Thanks
