Commander, Naval Special Warfare Command, Rear Adm. Joseph D. Kernan addresses 3,000 attendees during ceremonies conducted at the Danny Dietz Memorial dedication at West Berry Park. Petty Officer Dietz gave his life selflessly serving our Nation. On behalf of the United States Navy SEALs, we are proud to call him brother and will forever honor his warrior spirit and sacrifice, said Kernan. This statue is more than a tribute to one man, it is a lasting reminder of the honor, courage and commitment Danny and all of his teammates embody. Dietz died while conducting counter-terrorism operations in Afghanistan. Coalition forces located the Sailor while conducting a combat search and rescue operation July 4, 2005 in Kunar Province. Dietz whereabouts had been unknown since June 28, 2005. He was assigned to SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team Two, Virginia Beach, Virginia.
