“Forever Loved, Never Forgotten”

The Navy Gold Star Program is eternally grateful for the sacrifice of those Service Members who have died in service to our country. To help us to never forget, we have set up this tribute page to honor and remember the memory of those lives. If you would like to honor the memory of your Sailor, Soldier, Marine, Airman or Coast Guardsman through the Navy Gold Star website please submit your thoughts and a photo.

Navy Seal Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Nathan Gage Ingram was a beloved husband, son, brother, and friend who was lost at sea while on a night mission off the coast of Somalia. A team of Navy SEALs boarded a ship smuggling Iranian missile components bound for the Houthi militants in Yemen. During the mission, a SEAL teammate fell into the water at which time Gage quickly jumped in, in an attempt to rescue him. After an exhausting 10-day search, both SEALs were considered missing and deceased as of January 12, 2024. Gage was 27 years old.  Gage enlisted in the Navy in September 2019, and graduated from boot camp in November 2019. He graduated Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training Class 346 in December 2021 and reported to his first operational tour as SEAL Team THREE. Gage was an amazing man, and the world has truly lost a hero.
