David Passoni's Story:

Seal Team member David Passoni grew up in Middle Town, Connecticut and went through school just like any other person. When he was in high school, the Vietnam War was taking place and he along with his classmates knew they were going to get drafted. He wanted to go into the war with the best, because he felt that his chances of getting back were greater with Seal Team. After he got back from his second tour from Vietnam, it was a hard time to find a stable job so David decided to join the Connecticut National Guard for twenty years. After David retired from the National Guard, he wanted to become a Correctional Officer and it is his work today.
