Navy Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Nathan Hardy served our nation with distinction through multiple deployments in the Global War on Terror. As a member of an elite SEAL team, he conducted direct-action missions and gave his life in Iraq during combat operations.

Nate was someone others gravitated toward- humble, driven and deeply committed to those around him. He led by example, supported his teammates and carried a quiet strength and kindness that left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

Nate’s legacy lives on through his wife, Mindi; their son, Parker; his parents, Stephen and Donna; and his brother, Ben, as well as the many lives he touched through his service. His courage and selflessness continue to inspire others to live with purpose.
