BOSTON – At long last, the family of Glen Doherty, a former U.S. Navy SEAL from Winchester who died during the September 2012 terrorist attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, will receive a $400,000 government death benefit they sought for years.
"My son, Glen, proudly served our country as a Navy SEAL and as a security contractor to the U.S. government," Barbara Doherty, Glen's mother, said in a statement posted on the Fox News website. "More than three and a half years after the Benghazi attack which took his life, our family has finally received the symbolic justice all families of such American heroes deserve."
