Carl Higbie

The terrorism on September 11, 2011 served as a ferocious wake-up call for Carl Higbie. After graduating from high school in 2002, he spent a couple of years in college all the while thinking about this nation and what he could do to contribute to it. Carl knew he wanted to serve his country, but more than that, he wanted to become a Navy SEAL.

As a U.S. Navy SEAL, he saw dozens of combat missions and was decorated with valor in leadership positions. He is one of those men who has given so much and expected very little. Today, Carl is a man who has an ardent passion for this country, which takes him on a new mission.

He has a heartfelt calling to wake up this nation to the stark reality of a new enemy – bureaucracy. From a man who has protected our country in some of the most dangerous areas of the world, he believes there is a new battle on the home front that every American can fight.

It took the horrific acts of terrorism of 9-11 to wake Carl up. This is what opened his eyes to defend his country and enlist in the military. There are heroic deeds that get noticed by the national media; however, the credit is misplaced. Carl wants to wake this country up and put the credit where it needs to be, which includes ensuring Americans understand who is responsible for the wrong in this country as well.

In Carl’s own words, “If I will die proudly for others’ rights, what do you think I will do for my own?”
