(DailyAnswer.org) – Over 100 Navy SEAL veterans are gearing up to march in Washington, DC, to support the nomination of Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary. This event was revealed in an exclusive interview with Alec Lace, a friend of Hegseth and the host of The Alec Lace Show. The march is being organized by Navy SEAL veteran Bill “Freak” Brown, known for founding the annual SEAL Swim across the Hudson River—a challenge Hegseth has repeatedly taken part in.
Alec Lace shared with Breitbart News that Pete Hegseth has been an essential figure in promoting the SEAL Swim, having crossed the Hudson River several times himself. Now that Hegseth is in need of support, the Navy SEAL community, led by Bill Brown, is ready to back him up. Lace mentioned that the response from the SEALs was swift, with many veterans eager to show their support during Hegseth’s upcoming Senate confirmation hearing.
The march isn’t limited to just SEALs; veterans from various military branches, including the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, along with Gold Star parents and members of the New York Fire Department, have also registered. High-profile SEAL veterans like Jason Redman, Rob O’Neill, and several others will participate, alongside Army Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Flynn and Gold Star parents like Charles Strange and Cindy Dietz, who have lost their sons in combat.
Jason Redman recently highlighted Hegseth’s understanding of the military’s core responsibilities in a video, emphasizing that the military should not be used for social experiments. This comes at a time when Hegseth faces a smear campaign aimed at dissuading support from Republican senators. Despite these challenges, Hegseth has seen significant support from those who have worked closely with him.
Lace pointed out the deep respect and camaraderie that exists among those who have served together. This bond, he notes, is a strong endorsement of Hegseth’s suitability for the role of Secretary of Defense, more so than any political commentary could be. The veteran community, tired of what they see as weakening military standards under recent administrations, is rallying robustly behind Hegseth.
Lace encourages more patriots and veterans to join the march, as he expects a large turnout in support of Hegseth. Those interested in joining or supporting the cause are encouraged to sign up and stand with Hegseth during this pivotal moment.
