Honoring Marc Lee: America’s Mighty Warriors and What We’ve Done With Your Help

By Bryan Black

Today marks the fourth year I’ve been able to remember Marc Lee here on ITS Tactical. Marc Lee was the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq on August 2nd, 2006 and I had the honor of serving with him in the Navy while I was at BUD/s.

Marc was awarded the Silver Star posthumously for his brave and unselfish actions on a Ramadi rooftop. As stated in his award citation, he was conducting clearance operations in south-central Ramadi with members of a Naval Special Warfare Combat Advisory element.

This is also the second year we’ve been able to raise money for Marc’s mother’s charity, America’s Mighty Warriors, thanks to your help in purchasing  5.1.11 Morale Patches.  It was designed to commemorate May 1st, 2011 and the fantastic operation that Marc’s teammates from DevGru executed in killing Osama Bin Laden.  

America’s Mighty Warriors

If you haven’t heard of Debbie Lee’s Non-Profit 501(c)(3) Charity,  America’s Mighty Warriors, it was founded to help our military, their families and those that have fallen through their loss. Inspired by Marc’s last letter home, the Glory Letter, Marc challenged the world to commit random acts of kindness and hoped for a brighter future for this country. Debbie has undertaken that goal with a passion for giving back to those in our military who desperately need it.

I continuously recognize Debbie Lee’s charity over other equally worthy charities, for one very important reason, she needs our help! Debbie runs AMW full time by herself. I completely understand what it’s like to develop something bigger than you and how rewarding it can be.

There are many great charities that I’ve personally contributed to both during my time in the Navy and after, like the  Navy SEAL Foundation,  Special Operations Warrior Foundation,  Lone Survivor Foundation  and  Wounded Warrior Project. What I want to mention here is that these organization, while being extremely worthy of any help we can give them, are large and well funded compared to America’s Mighty Warriors.

Thank you to everyone that’s purchased a 5.1.11 patch and all that you’ve allowed us to give back to America’s Mighty Warriors!
