Even though he was a bad ass in his job, he was tender and funny with the kids. He's not what you'd imagine a Navy SEAL to be.
— Anya Langlais, wife
Langlais was among 30 U.S. military personnel killed when their CH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down by a rocket propelled-grenade in Wardak province, Afghanistan. Over a 25-year career, Langlais rose to become a troop leader in the Navy SEALs' elite Team Six, the secretive unit that killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

THANK YOU!!!!!!! For your sacrifice it is greatly appreciated. There is a hope for a future where young men like yourself will not have to die in the wars of the world. ISAIAH 2:4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore......
