 A select few are awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Recipient Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward C. Byers Jr. explains to us what it means to him to be a Navy SEAL and a hero. To be a Navy SEAL means that you have to be incredibly resilient. You have to be hardworking. They're the toughest men on the face of this planet. Any mission they're given, they'll succeed at it. And ultimately, they're our brothers, so as they have to, they'll die for you. All that I consider the heroes are the men I work with, and that I felt very honored and very humbled because now I'm going to be a representative for the Navy and the Naval Special Warfare community, and there's a weight that carries with it, and that weight is the sacrifices that everybody has made within this community.
