The elite fighting force known as Navy SEALs have been around for longer than you may know. The first-ever SEAL team has only one living member left, and last month, he turned 94.

Bill Dawson, from Washington, D.C., belonged to the team before they were even called Navy SEALs. The top-secret force he belonged to was called “Frogmen” in his day.
