Jesus, what an American Hero there are very few men like Cass- Ken Garret.

The news came in email this morning from the association and made me sick to my stomach.
From the UDT/SEAL Association:
Ken graduated with the very first organized UDT Training class formed in Coronado, in late 1950. This class was not formally issued a class number. Class 001 followed in 1951. Ken then served 3 combat tours with UDT-1 during the Korean Conflict.

Cass and I have never spoken, I've followed his posts for years with great interest but I don't post a lot.

The obit Frog posted confirms everything I had thought about Cass, that he truly was a giant among men.

I will pray for him and his family.

Godspeed Sir. Thank you for all you've done.

I always read his posts closely because he always had something of value to say. We are diminished with his absence.

Rest in peace Warrior, you have guided generations and changed the face of warfare, made life better for millions, and set an example that men will strive to emulate for years to come. You Sir, will not be forgotten.
