William Harvey Goines was the first Black sailor to become a Navy SEAL when President John F. Kennedy formed the first two SEAL teams in 1962. Team One on the West Coast and Team Two on the East Coast, Goines was one of 40 chosen to join Team Two and the only African-American Navy SEAL. Goines served three tours in the Vietnam War with SEAL teams, going twice with 14-man platoons, and once leading a Vietnamese unit. In 1976, Goines was selected to become part of the Chuting Stars, a Navy Parachute Demonstration Team. Goines retired from the Navy in 1987 as a Master Chief Petty Officer after 32 years of service.
