DURHAM, N.H. — Nearly 1,000 people packed into a University of New Hampshire gym to remember a Navy SEAL Team 6 who died on February 4, 2008 in Diyala Iraq during an attack on an Al Qaeda bomb assembly facility.

Navy Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Nathan Hardy, who grew up in Durham NH, died February 4 at age 29. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery later that month but his family did not have a local memorial service for him until Saturday.

Members of Hardy’s SEAL team who just returned from Iraq two weeks ago were among the mourners, as was Gov. John Lynch.   “We owe his family a debut we can never repay,” Lynch said.   Friends said Hardy’s short life must be measured not in years but accomplishments. He was married to the love of his life, had a beautiful baby son, loved his job and was the “elite of the elite” in his profession, said Amos Goss, Hardy’s childhood friend.

“Never has a life so short been so complete,” he said.   Others recalled Hardy’s passion for his job, his commitment to serving his country, his immense love for his family and his penchant for practical jokes.   Hardy enlisted in the Navy after graduating from high school in 1997. He was deployed to the Persian Gulf and Kosovo and was killed in Iraq during his fourth deployment.  His brother, Ben, said that Hardy’s last moments were spent trying to drag a fellow SEAL to safety.  “Nate’s death was a good death. It was an honorable death. It was a warrior’s death,” he said.
