thoughtful memorial service was conducted by Dr. Carl J. Broggi at 
Arlington National Cemetery for American Hero Larry Sulc.
  The following obituary, published in The Washington Post on February 
12, 2017, clearly identifies his devotion to promoting freedom:

founder of the Nathan Hale Foundation, died February I, 2017, in 
Beaufort, SC, due to complications from Alzheimer's disease. The son of 
an electrician who moved his family from New Jersey to the Panama Canal 
Zone during the Great Depression, Larry, and his older brother David 
grew up exploring the jungles of Panama. He was a proud ``Canal Zone 
Boy.'' In 1944, at 17, Larry joined the U.S. Navy and served in WWII in 
the Pacific theater. After graduating from Stanford, he was recruited 
by the CIA and served for 25 years in Latin America, Europe and the Far

Representatives on the Foreign Affairs Committee staff, then as

and Research). After leaving public service, he consulted on matters of 
risk assessment, corporate security, counterintelligence and 
counterterrorism. Larry was predeceased by his parents and his older 
brother, David. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Jean Luena 
Mestres Sulc of St. Helena Island, SC and his four children from his 
first marriage to Marian Sulc Scambos of Arlington, VA: Bradley Sulc 
(Carolyn), Wayne Sulc (Lourdes), Katherine Dwyer (Terrence) and Brian
