RIP Great Warrior. By Andy Kravetz Journal Star public safety reporter PEORIA - The Pentagon announced late Monday afternoon that the Navy SEAL who died over the weekend while on a raid in Yemen was from Peoria. Chief Special Warfare Operator William "Ryan" Owens, 36, a 1998 Illinois Valley Central graduate, died Saturday in the Arabian Peninsula of Yemen, of wounds sustained in a raid against al-Qaida, according to a Department of Defense news release. Cody Jackson, a high school friend of Owens, said he was shocked to hear of his death but not surprised, as Owens wanted to be a SEAL from the time he was 15. Link.

While a hard hit to take i feel comforted in the thought that he went out doing what he wanted to do.
I think about my Son when these things happen,because he is in that line of work.
Prayers for healing for the family.

Just hate to read this stuff. RIP and prayers to his family. From what has been said, it sounded like a bad mission with the Osprey making a hard landing - then purposely destroyed. Let's hope President Trump makes use of our military in a way that doesn't squander these brave and talented operators.
