U-T San Diego announced today that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty have been selected as the U-T San Diego 2012 Persons of the Year. The two San Diego residents are being honored for their heroic actions during the terrorist attack on the United States Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11&12. The former Seals turned CIA contractors were killed after hours of fighting heavily armed terrorists having first evacuated and saved as many as 30 people from the U.S. Consulate.
U-T San Diego’s Person of the Year Award honors the outstanding actions of San Diego residents who inspire courage, triumph, and selflessness. “Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods represent the best of San Diego’s heroic Navy Seals Community,” stated Publisher Douglas F. Manchester. “Their heroic acts should be heralded and saluted throughout this land.”
Vice Chairman and CEO John T. Lynch further qualified, “The U-T in selecting Doherty and Woods not only underscores their bravery and sacrifice, but also communicates that they will not be forgotten. The tragedy of Benghazi must be addressed fully by the President, Secretary of State and others involved.”
U-T San Diego has published two editorials, one announcing the award and the other calling for justice. Both editorials can be read on the U-T’s website at: http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/dec/31/glen-doherty-and-tyrone-woods-u-ts-2012-persons/
