June 28, 2005 is remembered as one of the biggest losses the SF/SO community has endured.

We have seen the portrayal of that battle and the rescue missions in the movie Lone Survivor and in documentaries from the Smithsonian Institute. Hundreds of thousands of people have since found inspiration and displayed high levels of patriotism in honor of the bravery and valor these men displayed.

Today, we ask you to get to know the men behind the uniform and join us in keeping their memories alive along with those who knew them best. Say their names to a friend or family member and share their stories with those who may not know.

It has been said that when a loved one dies, the family experiences two deaths – once when they leave this earth and again when people forget who they were.

Please join us and never forget those who gave all during Operation Red Wings.
