#VeteranOfTheDay Navy Veteran Frank Cucci

Today’s #VeteranOfTheDay is Navy Veteran Frank Cucci. Frank served from 1983 to 1994 and spent several years with the Navy SEALs.

Frank served with SEAL Team 2 and DEVGRU, more commonly known as SEAL Team 6. His duties included special operations and he spent much of his free time learning about close-quarters battle tactics. After his honorable discharge in 1994, Frank starred in a series of martial arts videos teaching SEAL hand-to-hand combat training and weapon techniques.

Frank currently owns a martial arts school in Virginia Beach. Many of his students are fellow Veterans.

Thank you for your service, Frank!
