Danny Dietz was a Navy SEAL killed in action on June 28, 2005 during "Operation Red Wings" along with fellow Navy SEAL’s Michael Murphy and Matthew Axelson. The only survivor was Marcus Luttrell, a native Texan, They were killed when they were ambushed by over 100 Taliban fighters. The rescue mission that ensued, 16 Special Forces personnel, including 8 SEALs, died when their helicopter was shot down by Taliban fighters. The location of Dietz' body was unknown for seven days. Navy SEAL Danny Dietz’s remains were recovered during a combat search and rescue operation on July 4, 2005 - the largest single loss of life for Naval Special Warfare since World War II.
Last year’s roping, silent auction and after party were a big success and the proceeds were donated to the NSWF in Danny's name. The Navy SEAL Foundation (NSWF) is a 501c3 and serves a fundamental role within the SEAL and SWCC community.
- A Memorial account where the money raised from the team roping will donate a monetary scholarship on Danny's behalf to a SEALs child.
- Money raised during the roping will also, on Danny's behalf, be donated to a SEAL’s family. It’s our goal to be able to give directly to the families who just lost their SEAL father and or husband so we can help those families that are in need of assistance during this difficult transition.
- The Navy SEAL Foundation Provides for all SEAL’s Families:
- Tragedy assistance for families who have lost a loved one in training or combat.
- Support family events to uphold morale and camaraderie.
- Award scholarships and provide educational assistance to active duty personnel, their spouses, and children.
- Additionally, to ensure the contributions of these elite warriors are always remembered, recognized, and documented for future generations, they strive to preserve the rich history and heritage of the NSW community. Since their inception in 2000, the Naval Special Warfare Foundation has mourned the loss of many of our NSW warriors in the Global War on Terror, and in turn, they support their families and their teammates.
