They will always be remembered
On August 6, 2011, Extortion 17, a quick reaction force to assist a unit of Army Rangers engaged west of Kabul, Afghanistan, was launched and intercepted by enemy fire. The resulting crash killed all 38 people on board, making it the worst loss of U.S. military life in a single incident in the Afghanistan campaign.

Brian Bill
Brian Bill was one of the decorated Navy Seals who lost his life with Extortion 17. Scott and Jennifer Bill turned their grief into energy by helping veterans from the Special Operations Community. The Brian Bill Foundation was established to assist special operations veterans, and families, who are afflicted with combat post-traumatic stress and other challenges related to their service.
