Gone but not forgotten...
Today, we remember Extortion 17. 🇺🇸 On August 6, 2011, the United States military suffered a devastating loss. Thirty American service members and one military working dog gave their lives in service to our country during a mission in Afghanistan.
Their sacrifice is a powerful reminder of the cost of service—and the strength, courage, and commitment it takes to defend our nation. ❤️
Join us in honoring their memory. Say their names. Share their legacy. And never forget their sacrifice.
