Name: Marie Morrell
DOB: January 31st, 1989 (Aquarius!)
Born in Montreal, raised in Virginia Beach, VA.
I recently graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with a B.F.A. in Film and Television. I'm currently living in Atlanta, working as a production assistant on various projects.
My Mom, Dad, and brother are all in the military. I went to art school instead, this documentary is a tribute to them and the armed services that I've grown up around and greatly admire.

Bravo Zulu to you and your crew. If you can make it to San Diego for the Seal Team One 50th celebration on Saturday, April 28th, I would like to invite you as my guest. There will be interviews there of former Vietnam era Seal Team One members that may prove of interest to you.

To all the ALFA Platoon kickstarter backers,
This is Elisa Morrell, Marie's mom. I wanted to say THANK YOU, all of you, for such phenomenal encouragement & support!!!
Some of I know, but most of you I don't & that's the amazing part. Some of you are even strangers who thought this project worthwhile (thanks for your trust!).
This project is going to be very cool. And is long over-due. It's truly an honor to the SEAL community, particularly the guys back then who were new to the teams who ventured over to Vietman into uncharted waters to fight unconventionally in support of a war that NOT popular at the time. I take my hat off to those men (& I am a Navy veteran myself but never did anything close to what they did).
This is sent out to thank all of you for fostering a dream & helping to validate this group of heros (& all the military everywhere). Thanks everyone!
Hooyah!
Sincerely,
Elisa Morrell

Thanks all!
Appreciate the support :)
@ Bruce, he'd love to take you sailing. "Anytime, come on down."-he said
Marie,
This is going to be great stuff. Although I was not in ALFA Plt. I was in many others. My first meeting of your dad: he was an E-3 fresh out of training. I am going to get myself to Virginia Beach and go sailing with him before I am to old to do it. Y'all keep up the good work, and "Fair Winds And Following Seas" to all of you.
Great Stuff ! Marianne and I are proud to be part of it . Plus ( I served with your Dad and a few of the others . )
Great project Marie! Keep up the good work and if there is ANYTHING we can do to help, do not hesitate to call!
