On August 6, 2011, the men of Extortion 17 lost their lives on a mission in Wardak province, west of Kabul. A U.S. Boeing CH-47 Chinook military helicopter was shot down while transporting a quick reaction force attempting to reinforce an engaged unit of Army Rangers. The crash killed all 38 people on board – 25 American special operations personnel, five United States Army National Guard and Army Reserve crewmen, seven Afghan commandos, and one Afghan interpreter – as well as a U.S. military working dog. It is considered the worst loss of American lives in a single incident in the Afghanistan campaign.
Please take a moment to read the names of these heroes. We will be reading one biography a day after each one mile ruck:
