Quick park & grab with room for trackables and whatnot. Sarting with 3 trackables, please try not to leave it empty. This is a tribute to the guardians that perished on extortion 17. Good men from Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas and elsewhere died that day. Including my good buddy SSG Patrick D. Hamburger... May they all rest in peace.
On 6 August 2011, a U.S. Boeing CH-47 Chinook military helicopter was shot down while transporting a quick reaction force attempting to reinforce an engaged unit of Army Rangers in Wardak province, west of Kabul, Afghanistan. The resulting crash killed all 38 people on board—25 American special operations personnel, five United States Army National Guard and Army Reserve crewmen, seven Afghan commandos, and one Afghan interpreter—as well as a U.S. military working dog.
