Robert O’Neill Former Navy SEAL: A Silent Hero Speaks Out

Navy SEALS are considered silent heroes because they keep all missions top-secret. SEALs jeopardized their life to keep Americans and our United States of America safe. And, on some high risk missions they know it could possibly be a one way trip. Missions of stealthfully going into countries without permission are putting their lives in harm’s way.

I don’t know how former SEAL Robert (Rob) O’Neill actions of speaking out survived being accepted or condone by his SEAL friends. However, he felt it was the right choice for him to make. He is the SEAL who Killed Osama Bin Laden by his version. There are others that claim the same deed.

Rob was a leader, a SEAL, a trained warrior of action and he has the medals to prove it. He has 52 decorations: two Silver Stars, four Bronze Stars with Valor, a joint Service Commendation Medal with Valor, three Presidential Unit citations, and two Navy/Marine Corps Commendations with Valor.

Rob O’Neill met and spoke to some families who lost love ones in the horrendous September 11, 2001; America’s greatest heartbreak. And, for other countries who had love ones working in the ‘Twin Towers. 


Rob stated, the hardest part of being a Navy SEAL was kissing his young daughter goodbye before he left on a mission; because it could be the last kiss. 

He was a SEAL for 17 years serving his country and protecting our homeland. He began to feel complacent about being shot at and this is when he decided to leave the Navy. Rob was given an honorable discharge, but lost his pension.

He helped start a charity for veterans who are in transition from the military to civilian life. He did this because of the trials he experienced in his transition from the Navy. 

The name of the charity is: Your Grateful Nation Org.; which helps veterans who served this nation to keep Americans and Our Homeland safe.

SEAL Team 6 Member Not Surprised Taliban Took Over Afghanistan

There is a lot of controversy about a former SEAL telling anything while he served and after retirement/discharge from the Navy. A Code of Silence is their bond: “
not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my action."  

However, didn’t the Navy break the ‘Code of Silence’ with their participation and collaboration with Hollywood producers in the film ‘Act of Valor’ (2012)?

Then, the Navy cannot point a finger at Robert O’Neill because three fingers are pointing back at them: 1.) *Starring Quote: active duty U.S. Navy SEALS and U.S. Navy Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewman: Unquote. 2.) In my research I found the Navy actually used this film as a training tool. 3.) Did the Navy break the ‘Code of Silence’ first?



A Great American We Need More Men Like Him.
Therefore, it could be said the Navy is gagging at a Gnat (an infinitesimal insect) and swallowing a camel. And, since I am not in the Navy, but my father was---and I honor and respect this branch of military as well as the all others. 

However, I do not like it when a veteran SEAL is spoken about in a negative way. Anyone, who does not or does agree with what Robert O’Neill is doing---please leave a comment. I appreciate it.

Congress Assesses SEAL Team 6 Deaths of August 2011

8/6/2011: THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL. Tribute To The Fallen Navy SEALs





Families of the SEAL Team 6 might finally get some answers as to who is responsible for the betrayal of our SEALS being killed; and who put the big X on their backs for the retaliation of the enemy.

It is the height of stupidity that anyone in our government would disclose the identity of who performed the covert mission. But stupidity opened his big mouth and put the SEALS Team 6 and their families in jeopardy. And, in doing so all the spies in the audience got what they came for---information to give the Taliban.

Congress has dragged their feet or higher up the torso; because it has been two years since it happened that our men were shot down in the CH-47 Chinook Helicopter. The families still do not have closure because the ones responsible for their deaths have not been brought to justice.



My concern is that Congress will put a band-aide on this treason and call it---unintentionally spoken without malice or forethought---by the very one who opens his mouth and inserts foot too often.

I am sure they will take weeks of questions, blaming, finger pointing, and intimidation and, after all is said and done the bottom-line will be it is not the fault of the one who betrayed our SEALS.

There are so many questions Americans as well as the families of the fallen heroes want answered. Mine questions are:
·        Why were they in a Chinook helicopter made in the 1960---it should be in a museum?
·        Why were we lied to about the “Black Box” being washed away in a flash flood?
·        Did someone in our government or the Afghan government make a deal with the enemy in exchange for the flight plans?
·        Why were the bodies cremated?
·        Why wasn’t air support allowed to fire on the enemy?
·        Who sold the SEALS out?
·        Who knew about the mission?
·        Who was responsible for the last minute change of seven (7) Afghan Soldiers who boarded without being on the flight manifest?

There are so many unanswered questions to be answered as Congress executes a full investigation for the truth.

My thoughts and prayers are with the SEALS and the families of our lost heroes. And, for all the SEALS who protect and keep us safe every day---you are always in my prayers and your loved ones. May God bless and keep you safe.

Lost Another SEAL in Training Incident


  SEAL-Petty Officer 3rdClass---Jonathan Kaloust
We have lost another of our men in a training accident on May 15th in Kentucky at Ft. Knox.  SEAL-Petty Officer 3rd Class---Jonathan Kaloust a native of Massapequa, N.Y.

Eight men---Jonathan and five Seals two sailors were in a training incident. Jonathan was killed and the other seven were injured when their Humvee overturned in a tactical training maneuver. The other seven--- five Seals and two sailors were released with only minor injuries.


Jonathan Kaloust was only 23 years old but was a strong and competent Seal who completed his training last year. He joined the Navy in 2011 and excelled in his training in order to become a Seal. It is the supreme honor to make it to a SEAL status.

The incident is being investigated and is being handled with upmost respect because of the sensitive nature and no details will be released until it has been completed.

Americans are sad today to have lost another son---one who was preparing to be ready to protect us from any foreign force or terrorist.  I hope the ending investigation will tell us how one died and seven lived? I cannot wait to find out. This is happening too often and I for one am very concerned for our sons and daughters who are in training to protect us---are hurt and killed.

I pray for Jonathan Kaloust, his family and friends for this terrible hurt they are to endure for many years to come; and maybe forever in his parent’s hearts and mind.
