Lindsey Lohan, Charlie Sheen... How about a shout out to the Non-nincompoops


So someone sent me a note today that essentially bemoans the fact that our culture is obsessed with celebrities, when there are actual heroes which we ignore.   With the resent success against Bin Laden, it makes sense to celebrate the Military in general, and Navy Seals in particular.  There is a great photo essay on US Navy Seals and what it takes to be one on The Daily Beast.
.
Here are some of my favorite pictures, but take a look at the story and photo essay.  It is very cool.
Training in Coronado (right outside of San Diego)
Race the boats across the sand in full uniform

Then lay in the cold surf without your uniform.
Your reward is serving incognito, in the worst parts of the world.
They are dedicated and deserve our thanks.
