Thank you for partnering with the Navy SEALs Fund in supporting Navy SEAL Gil Espinoza.

3/7/2022 - Update from Gil

Thank each and every one of you who have responded to my recent trial by Fire. It is easy to think sometimes that one is all alone, but now I see through your generous donations and words of support and encouragement that great people step up to help those who have been knocked down.

The words I’ve chosen cannot express the heartfelt emotion and sincere appreciations that I feel in my Heart at this time. I am blessed to have you in my life and I expect to recover.

As I learned in the Teams, “The only easy day was yesterday,” and, “if you can’t change the temperature of the ocean, it doesn’t matter what the temperature of the ocean is,” I’ll be in the cold water anyway.

It’s never about what has happened to you in crisis, it’s about how one responds to the crisis.

In closing, I pray blessings upon you and your families in regard to your health, prosperity and happiness. I thank the Navy SEALs Fund and the SEAL Legacy organizations for watching my SIX.

Blessed Hooyahs,

Espi.
