Danny Dietz scholarship

Today I turned in my application for the Danny Dietz Scholarship of Honor.

Gunner's Mate 2nd Class Danny Dietz was a Navy SEAL that was killed in Afghanistan, along with Sonar Technician 2nd Class Matthew Axelson, as they were engaged in fierce combat while mortally wounded. Because of their courage one of their teammates was able to crawl away to safety. They were both posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.

He was an alum of my high school, and a scholarship was set up in his honor. I really hope I receive it. Everyone who knew him remembers him so fondly, and his bravery is inspiring. It definitely is a Scholarship of Honor.

I'll let you know how it goes.
