Defense Media Activity - Navy Production Division
Jan. 1, 2020 | 4:51
Remi Adeleke's story reads like a movie script; from being born into African royalty in Nigeria, to losing everything and growing up on the mean streets of The Bronx, New York City, he knew he wanted to do something important with his life. Watch the video to see how he went on to join the U.S. Navy SEALs, and then break into the world of acting and writing. Narration by former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink. (U.S. Navy video by Austin Rooney/released)
