Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty

On the night of 11 September, 2012, independant contractors
Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, working in Benghazi, Lybia, were
awakened by the sound of gunfire near the American Embassy. The
two Americans, formerly members of the US Navy's elite SEALs,
ran towards the chaos around the embassy, unarmed, to see what
was developing.
Discovering the Embassy under siege, the two former operators
collected weapons abandoned by Lybian security forces and set to
work defending the American civilians under attack. Although
outnumbered by as much as 100-1 and heavily outgunned, Woods and
Doherty defended the embassy, killing 60 attackers before being
killed themselves. Although no longer active members of the US
Military, Woods and Doherty displayed the courage,
professionalism, and selflessness that is the halmark of the US
Navy SEALs.
