This page is done in loving memory of
William Arthur 'Bill' Harrison and in tribute to him and all the men of UDT-14.
This site was created by Sid Harrison (Bill's cousin) and the late Robert L. Harrison (Bill's brother) 
We have obtained materials and information from various sources. But in particular we extend a special thanks to Mrs. Shirley Goodwyne for the wealth of historical material she so generously provided. Also we thank the NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE ARCHIVES for providing Team rosters and other info. Most of the photos shown here are from a storage box of Bill's that we only looked at closely after he was gone. Additional leads and information were pulled from the internet using conventional internet search methods. Credit and thanks to the authors of all sources are given on the respective pages.
