Navy Chief James "Patches" Watson

United States Navy Chief James "Patches" Watson (Ret.) passed away on 25 October 2013.

Chief Watson was one of the original group of US Navy SEALs, a plankowner of SEAL Team 2.
Watson was also the curator and board member of the US Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Ft. Pierce, Florida.

Watson was a good friend of mine.

Rest in Peace Chief.
