I had the opportunity to play for a statue dedication in Littleton, CO for a local son who died in Afghanistan. Danny Dietz was a Navy Seal who died when his unit was ambushed. He was posthumusly awarded the Navy Cross. Thousands of people attended the ceremony.
The Secretary of the Navy spoke as well as a former Navy Seal and Navy Cross recipient. The entire ceremony and event was very moving and the tribute and respect paid was overwhelming.
I felt and still feel a great deal of pride and am honored to be part of that dedication.
