FORCE BLUE: A CALL OF DUTY TO HEAL THE OCEAN
By: Laura Butz, MISSIONBLUE™
I recently had the honor of meeting U.S RECON Marine Sergeant Rudy Reyes who shared his story about being a former combat diver who’s now on a mission to help protect and restore the ocean. I cannot truly capture in words how profound his story is or the eloquent way he spoke about his life’s journey. Nor, can I begin to fathom the magnitude of his experience as a combat diver. All I can humbly offer is listening to him speak with such humility and passion, I was incredibly moved and a part of me is changed forever. Rudy’s new call of duty is empowering other Special Ops veterans to join FORCE BLUE’s conservation efforts to help restore critical marine ecosystems around the world.
