On Thursday, the last living member of the original Navy SEAL team turned 94-years-old.

Bill Dawson was part of the “frogmen” team in 1943, which was the first team ever of the Naval Combat Demolition Units, known today as the Navy SEALs, NBC 4 reported.

Dawson joined the Navy at the age of 17 during World War II and fought until 1945 when the Japanese surrendered

“Knowing today what I helped start developed into what it is today. It’s one of the greatest outfits in the world,” Dawson said.

It  had to have been a real thrill to have this guy administer the enlistment oaths to the new guys. Not even in the Navy one day,and already a part of history.
