I got the opportunity to meet Bill Dawson in fort pierce in 2016 before I went to BUD/S. He signed the book for me. I read it and then had it framed. Still hanging in my house! One day I´ll break it out of there again and give it a read. Im at ST2 these days and happy to have met him.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to your family during this difficult time. I hope the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring much comfort. Just knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Had the pleasure of getting to know Bill and his stories a few years ago. The "Thank You for your Service" simply isn't enough for this man that lead a life of Service.
