Friends of the SEAL Trio awaiting                       Court Martial!  

You've stood in line long enough. We now have the info you need for sending checks or for wiring money directly into the account (which is in the First Western Trust Bank, whose president is SEAL Lindsay Thomas Kough, Class 158). 

Using the information below, either mail or wire-transfer your contributions to help "The Trio." Make your checks payable to "Warrior Legacy Foundation," and write "Warrior Defense Fund" (that's us) on the memo line. We have a totally separate account within a much-larger account. 

FIRST WESTERN TRUST BANK 
5460 South Quebec Street, Suite 200 
Greenwood Village, CO 80111 
ABA: 102007011 
Credit Account Number: 2045486 
Credit Account Name:
 Warrior Legacy Foundation Warrior Defense Fund 

There is a Pay Pal account already set up, and links will be on the Warrior Legacy Foundation site; www.freetheseals.com; and a number of other www friendly sites. 

In closing, you should be aware that this account is overseen by a 6-person Board of Advisors, at least two of whom are SEALs and another a lady who is VERY active in the military-support community. We have done all we know how to do to get this thing on the road and to incorporate strict oversight procedures over how the money is spent. I believe that we have done pretty well setting up this account.

Fire in the hole! 

Larry Bailey

Unsung Hero in the Amazing Rescue of Bat 21 Bravo: Nguyen Van Kiet's courage and courage . . . . . . . .

 
Petty Officer Nguyen Van Kiet   :       Vietnam War: “It was their country. They deserve respect.”When Hollywood made a movie about the dramatic rescue of a downed American pilot during the Vietnam War, it left one man out: the South Vietnamese navy officer who was a key member of the rescue team.    

Webmaster's Note:  I first  met Kiet at Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam  when he was undergoing LDNN (SEAL) training.  I was one of the SEAL LDNN Advisors at the LDNN Camp.          LT. Richard Kuhn was our OinC.

                    Navy Cross Citation

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to

NGUYEN VAN KIET, PETTY OFFICER THIRD CLASS
NAVY OF THE REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM

                                                     Citation:

For extraordinary heroism while serving with friendly forces engaged in armed conflict against the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong communist aggressors in the Republic of Vietnam. On 13 April 1972, Petty Officer Kiet participated in an unprecedented recovery operation for a downed United States aviator behind enemy lines in Quang Tri Province, Republic of Vietnam. He courageously volunteered to accompany a United States SEAL Advisor Thomas R. Norris (Medal Of Honor) in an extremely hazardous attempt to reach the aviator, who was physically unable to move toward friendly positions. Using a sampan and traveling throughout the night, they silently made their way deep into enemy territory, past numerous major enemy positions, locating the pilot at dawn. Once, after being spotted by a North Vietnamese patrol, he calmly continued to keep the enemy confused as the small party successfully evaded the patrol. Later, they were suddenly taken under heavy machine gun fire. Thinking first of the pilot, he quickly pulled the sampan to safety behind a bank and camouflaged it while air strikes were called on the enemy position. Due to Petty Officer Kiet's coolness under extremely dangerous conditions and his outstanding courage and professionalism, an American aviator was recovered after an eleven-day ordeal behind enemy lines. His self-discipline, personal courage, and dynamic fighting spirit were an inspiration to all; thereby reflecting great credit upon himself and the Naval Service.
