Cmdr. Gary Richard, commander of SEAL Team Seven and Special Operations Task Force-West, addresses personnel at a dedication ceremony Sept. 5 for two sailors who gave their lives in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Petty Officer 2nd Class and Navy SEAL Michael Monsoor was killed in action Sept. 29, 2006, when he threw himself on a grenade to save his fellow sailors. Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyler Trahan was killed while conducting combat operations near Fallujah April 30, 2009. SEAL Team Seven will now call the compound Camp Monsoor and the headquarters building Trahan Hall. "Today we take a building, just a mere building?and today we give it heritage, today we give it culture, and today we give it meaning," said Richard.
