[American Veterans @amvetshawaii]

Twenty-one years ago today, on June 28, 2005, America lost 19 extraordinary warriors during Operation Red Wings in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan.

Four Navy SEALs deployed on a reconnaissance mission deep behind enemy lines. Three made the ultimate sacrifice. When a rescue force launched aboard Turbine 33, their helicopter was shot down, claiming the lives of 16 additional heroes. It remains the largest single loss in the history of U.S. Naval Special Warfare.

We honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment of these American heroes:

🇺🇸 Reconnaissance Team
• LT Michael P. Murphy, Medal of Honor
• GM2 Danny P. Dietz, Navy Cross
• STG2 Matthew G. Axelson, Navy Cross

HM2 Marcus Luttrell was the lone survivor.

🇺🇸 Turbine 33
• 8 Navy SEALs
• 8 Night Stalkers of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne)

Nineteen warriors answered the call of duty without hesitation. Some fought on the ground. Others gave their lives trying to save their brothers. Their sacrifice embodies the highest ideals of service, courage, and selflessness.

Today, AMVETS Hawaii remembers all nineteen heroes of Operation Red Wings. Their legacy continues to inspire generations of servicemembers, veterans, and Americans who cherish freedom.

We will never forget.
Honor Their Sacrifice. Carry Their Legacy.

🇺🇸 Gone, but never forgotten.

June 28, 2005 Operation Red Wings

Today we remember the 19 American heroes who gave their lives. After their reconnaissance team was compromised in the mountains of Afghanistan, four Navy SEALs fought against overwhelming Taliban forces. LT Michael Murphy knowingly exposed himself to enemy fire to call for help, sacrificing his life in an act of extraordinary valor that earned him the MOH. The rescue operation, which included 8 Navy SEALs and 8 U.S. Army 160th SOAR Night Stalkers, launched immediately, but their Chinook helicopter was struck by an RPG, killing all 16 aboard.

Their courage, and selflessness will never be forgotten. Never forget Operation Red Wings.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

21 years ago today, on June 28, 2005, four Navy SEALs were inserted under cover of darkness into the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan, a place so high and so cold the clouds drift below your feet. Their mission was to find a Taliban commander hiding in the village of Sawtalo Sar. Their names were Michael Murphy, Danny Dietz, Matthew Axelson, and Marcus Luttrell.

By morning, fate walked right up the mountain to meet them. A goat herder and a boy wandered straight into their hidden position. The team had a choice no man should ever have to make: kill unarmed civilians, or let them go and risk everything. They let them go. Within an hour, the mountain came alive with rifle fire.

What happened next is almost too brutal to put into words. Dozens of fighters swarmed the high ground above them. The four men fought their way down a near vertical slope, throwing themselves off ledges and cliffs to escape the fire, breaking bones, tearing flesh, leaving blood on the rocks, and still turning to shoot. One by one they were hit. Still they fought. They would not stop. They would not surrender.

Their radios could not reach the base down in the valley. They were screaming for help into dead air. And so Lieutenant Michael Murphy did something that should never be forgotten. He stood up. He walked out of the rocks and into open ground, into the full teeth of the enemy, with bullets cracking past him on every side, just to get a clear signal. He was shot in the back while making that call. He dropped the radio, picked it back up, finished the call, and said thank you. Then he kept fighting until he could fight no more. That single act of courage is the only reason the world ever learned their names.

Help came screaming up the valley. An MH-47 Chinook, call sign Red Wings 11, packed with eight more SEALs and eight Army Night Stalkers of the legendary 160th SOAR, refused to wait for gunship cover. Their brothers were dying and they would not sit still for it. As the bird flared over the ridge, a single rocket propelled grenade flew through the open rear ramp. The explosion tore the aircraft apart in the sky. All sixteen men aboard were killed the instant it hit the mountain.

Three on the ground. Sixteen in the air. Nineteen American sons gone in a single afternoon. It remains the worst loss of life in Naval Special Warfare history since World War II.

Michael Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Danny Dietz and Matthew Axelson received the Navy Cross. Marcus Luttrell, blown off a cliff and shredded by shrapnel, was the only one to come home. He survived because a Pashtun villager named Mohammad Gulab found him broken in a ravine and, under an ancient code of honor older than the country these men died for, stood between him and the Taliban and refused to give him up.

Twenty one years later, do not let these be just names on a screen. They had mothers. They had wives. They had children who grew up with a flag folded into a triangle instead of a father. They chose each other over their own lives on a mountain most people will never even hear of.

So today, say their names out loud. All nineteen of them 🇺🇸

In remembrance:
Lt. Michael P. Murphy
Gunner's Mate 2nd Class Danny P. Dietz
Sonar Technician 2nd Class Matthew G. Axelson
