7.♥Operation Red Wings

Operation Red Wings....On June 28, 2005, deep behind enemy lines east of Asadabad in the Hindu Kush of Afghanistan, a very committed four-man Navy SEAL team was conducting a reconnaissance mission at the unforgiving altitude of approximately 10,000 feet....Three SEALs, ♥ Lt. Michael Murphy, ♥ Gunner's Mate 2nd Class (SEAL) Danny Dietz, and ♥ Sonar Technician 2nd Class (SEAL) Matthew Axelson were killed by the Taliban....On the same say, a QRF of eight Navy SEALs and 8 Army Night Stalkers were also killed when the MH-47 helicopter that they were aboard was shot down by enemy fire in the vicinity of Asadabad, Afghanistan in Kumar Province....This was the worst single-day U.S. Forces death toll since Operation Enduring Freedom. It was the single largest loss of life for Naval Special Warfare since World War II. The movie The Lone Survivor is based on this mission.
