Thanks for your service. AS I was an only son they would not give me a deferrment. Wanted to be a frogman later but the Navy recruiter didn't give me a chance in hell of going to training. He wanted electronics guys in '76. I said forget it. Didn't know they would be called SEALs. I had a math instructor who did beach surveys on Normandy before D Day. And had another friend who was a frogman/UDT but didn't relate where he had worked during WWII. They were some awesome guys. Didn't go around puffed up and no brag about what they did. I did pry small details from my math teacher, football coach, and mentor Ray Coldren. God Bless all the vets. I'm glad to speak other than Japanese, Russian, Chinese..... Be Well Rustyzipper.
