“We’re about to jump out of a plane. I’m honored to be here in support of the Navy SEAL Foundation. … My first time, I’m a little nervous, but I’m with some real pros in this, some real experienced guys, so I know I’m in good hands, and I’m fired up.” - Peyton Manning

According to the official website, the Navy SEAL Foundation is a non-profit organization that gives critical support to warriors, veterans, and families of Naval Special Warfare.
