A veteran is someone who at one point in his life wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for the amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor. There are way too many people in this country who no longer understand that.

In light of recent events, I'm going to unashamedly bump this.

The guy that did the documentary met Adam at a SHOT show.  When he found out about Adam's death, he went through all kinds of vetting by the SEALs just to talk to them and finally, almost a year later, talk to Adam's family.  Adam impacted everyone he ever met and this guy was no different.  He was an unbelievable person who touched many lives and continues to do so.

He truly is a great American hero. It's a shame to lose someone that amazing, but he lead a life with no regrets. Thank you for sharing.

Mrs. Longtime has a grand nephew that was a member of SEAL Team 6 in Granada almost 25- years ago.  He was shot-up but survived.  I'm anxious to talk to him and get his take on last night's events.

The SEAL's are a special group of men.  (And women?)  This is a proud day for America and Americans.  He received his earthly justice last night.....the justice that awaited him one moment after he took his last breath on this earth is almost incomprehensible. 
I don't like to plan my day because then the word premeditated comes into the conversation.

Do you want to know something even cooler?  Adam's Team that he died to protect was the force that took out Bin laden.  I'm so proud that I have met members of the team that killed Bin Laden.  That is one special group of young men...  Its kind of funny, they are not all that impressive to look at but their the baddest warriors on the planet.

it is pretty amazing.  i've met a couple of former seals and imo, what seperates them from us isn't necessarily physical prowess but mental.  those guys are smart, tough, and fearless.  the ones i've met look like normal guys but dang i wouldn't want to get in a fight with them.

It's absolutely mental.  As his teammates tell in the documentary, Adam was born without a "fear bone" and had zero quit in him.  I watched him get pounded in FB practice in HS and in college by guys twice his size and just pop up and as for more.

You would never believe those guys were SEALs without their uniforms on.  They are very professional but very humble.  They don't expect any recognition and when they got it, I felt like they were almost embarassed.  They are definitely an unbelievable bunch of guys.

Just got through watching and I got to say that was powerful stuff. Seems he lived a fuller life than most of us ever will. As a father, listen to his kids talk, it really got to me. Can someone tell me how old Adam was? When he graduated? I played High School sports against LH and I was wondering if I ever played against him.

He was 37.  He graduated in 1992 and was part of the LH team that won the State Championship that year.  He was fearless.  They used him as the wedge buster on kickoffs because of that.

Well we did play against each other. Graduated the same year. That's something. Thanks for the info. I actually have a VHS tape of the last time we played my Junior year. I might dust it off and see Adam bust the wedge.

Was LH 3A in 1991? Newport beat us in the playoffs and then I thought they beat LH in the SCG. It's been 20 years so I could be wrong. It would have been the 1991 football season if you graduated in 92.

First of all, WOW,  simple 3 letters, but really sums it up for me.  Second, thank you for sharing this. It's something I really needed to see.

My friends and family that have served have always had my highest respect and admiration.  And now I know the story behind your avatar that I see on here and it will always be a reminder of the heroes in our lives.

Thank you!

Yes they were 3A.  I graduated in '90.  LH beat Alma in '92.  I think it was Newport we lost to in '91 but I think it was in the semi-finals.

Thanks for posting the video. Knowing we were the same age and played sports against each other really brings things home.

I'm going to go hug my kids now.

that was by far, one of the most moving media productions I have ever seen....

I am proud to have served, and I did nothing like Adam did... I honor of Adam Brown I say a prayer on behalf of every soldier serving this great country!

I have no problem admitting that I have cried everytime I have watched it.  Even having known Adam, I still stand in awe of the man that he was. 

Thank you for your service.

I graduated with Adam.  We lost to Newport 7-0 in the final our senior year.  The seniors of 1993 beat Alma in the fall of '92 to win state and go 14-0.  It was the perfect weekend for the SEAL family.  Adam's story being told, then them getting Bin Laden.  I pray his kids realize how special of a guy he was.

MHS

For those interested in more, Adam's wife Kelley said that a book deal was being put together.  A write who has had several NY Times Best Sellers is going to do his story.  Having had the opportunity to coach him, and my son "3072", I can tell you what my son said is fact.  Adam was not afraid of anything!  Toughest kid I have ever been around and I have been around a bunch.  Great family too.

Truly a remarkable tribute and so well done. I'm sitting here just numb and so deeply thankful for Adam Brown, his family and everyone that had a part of sharing his greatness with us. We are all better for it.
Have you ever listened to someone  or read what they put into thoughts and wondered...."who ties your shoelaces for you?"

MHS

For Adam's family, "Thanks" to all of you who have seen Adam's video, or have had such kind words to say.  Adam was a Hogfan, as you can tell from his "eye" in the video, and would love knowing fellow Razorback fans felt that way.  We miss him terribly, but know he did what he was put on earth to do, and now his team finished what he so wanted to be a part of.  If you are ever in Hot Springs area, go by Old Bear Cemetery, on Old Bear Road, off Hwy 270 West, and visit his grave, you won't leave dry eyed I can assure you.  An American and Arkansas hero who gave his all every day, every hour, every minute.

just got through watching, and even i cried like a baby. theres no one in the world i have more respect for than the men and women that are willing to give up their lives to fght for our freedom.
