Richard "Dick" Marcinko, who was the first commanding officer of U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6, died Saturday at the age of 81, according to an announcement from his son.
"Last night, Christmas evening, we lost a hero, who’s also known as The Rogue Warrior, the retired Navy SEAL commander AND the creator of SEAL Team Six, my father, Richard Marcinko," tweeted Matt Marcinko on Sunday. "His legacy will live forever. The man has died a true legend. Rest In Peace Dad. I love you forever."
Considering the daring life that he led and Agent Orange exposure that he had in Vietnam Commander Dick Marchinko made a good run. I met him briefly at a book signing in the late 90's on the base I was stationed at. He was a good guy and a genuine patriot! Until Valhalla!
Colorful character must be one of his traits all Navy Seals emulate. Never seen a crazier bunch!
