Navy Identifies SEAL who Died During
Training Exercise
Story Number: NNS080215-14
Release Date: 2/15/2008 1:15:00 PM
From Naval Special Warfare Group 2 Public Affairs
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (NNS) -- Senior Chief Special
Warfare Operator Thomas J. Valentine, (SEAL), 37, of Ham Lake, Minn.,
died from injuries suffered while conducting parachute training
operations in Casa Grande, Ariz., Feb. 13.
The incident took place while conducting training at a military training
facility previously used for parachute training by Navy personnel in
Marana, Ariz. Casa Grande Emergency Medical Service personnel pronounced
Valentine dead at approximately 9:20 a.m. EST. An investigation by the
Navy, Naval Criminal Investigative Service and local authorities to
determine the details of the incident is in progress.
"Senior Chief Valentine was one of the finest SEALs I have ever
known. He served his country with valor during multiple tours to
Afghanistan and Iraq," said Capt. Scott Moore, commander, Naval
Special Warfare Development Group. "A role model, mentor, and
incredible leader, Tom epitomized what we as SEALs strive for, a
complete commitment to excellence. Our thoughts and prayers go out to
his wife, son, daughter, and entire family. His loss is felt by the
entire Naval Special Warfare community."
Valentine enlisted in the U.S. Navy Aug. 10, 1989 and graduated from
boot camp at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill., in October. In
January 1990, Valentine entered Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S)
training in Coronado, Calif., Class 169.
Following graduation from BUD/S, Valentine attended other advanced
training courses and reported to an East Coast-based SEAL Team in
November 1990. He served in East Coast-based SEAL Teams the remainder of
his career.
His military awards and decorations include the three Bronze Stars with
"V" for Valor, two Joint Service Commendation Medals, three
Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals, two Navy and Marine Corps
Achievement Medals, three Combat Action Ribbons, five Good Conduct
Medals, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Kosovo Campaign Medal, seven
Sea Service Deployment Ribbons, NATO Medal, two National Defense Service
Medals, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism
Expeditionary Medal, Naval Arctic Service Ribbon, Kuwait Liberation
Medal (Kuwait), and Southwest Asia Service Medal.
"This is a stark reminder that what these warriors do on a daily
basis is very dangerous, both on and off of the battlefield. It's
incredibly important for them to train like they're going to fight to
ensure success on the battlefield. This premise demands potentially
dangerous training evolutions," said Lt. David Luckett, Naval
Special Warfare spokesperson.
Valentine is survived by his wife, two children, parents, brother and
sister.
