The Fire in the Gut Award is one of the Navy SEAL Foundation’s highest honors, recognizing individuals whose character exemplifies exceptional grit, selfless leadership and an unwavering commitment to serving others. Chairman Brownstein’s lifetime of leadership, dedication and service makes him a truly deserving recipient of this recognition.

The Navy SEAL Foundation embodies that same principle in a more profound way. You are ensuring that those who serve, and the families who stand beside them, receive the support they deserve. That’s a mission worthy of all our admiration and support.”
