Huffington Post – Navy SEAL Photos in New Book SEAL: The Unspoken Sacrifice
Stephanie Freid-Perenchio:
It all began at a dinner party ten years ago. I found myself seated next to Vice Admiral Robert S. Harward, currently Deputy Commander of the U.S. Joint Forces. I was intrigued by Harward’s experience as a Navy SEAL and as we talked, our conversation further sparked my curiosity.
After the events of 9/11, I realized that the world of Navy SEALs was still shrouded in secrecy. I wanted to explore and shed light upon this culture that most people had never seen nor fully understood. Most of all, I wanted to share it with others in a way that was patriotic but not political.
