The United West remembers: August 6, 2011 in Deland, FL. Tom Trento was at a speaking engagement when a member of the TUW team began hearing the news of a major shootdown in Afghanistan. Listen as we share that day and how we heard about the horrible events that took 15 men from Gold Squadron of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, popularly called SEAL Team 6.

A Taliban fighter shot the helicopter (call sign Extortion 17) out of the sky with a rocket-propelled grenade and all aboard were killed—the single greatest loss of American life in the Afghan war. The greatest loss of Navy SEALs in history.
