Saluting American Valor

Interesting web-site.

With his Green Berets in a kill zone, he fired Javelin missiles that took out an Iraqi column

During an early April morning in 2003, not long after the start of the invasion of Iraq, the 22 Green Berets of the 3rd Special Forces and their Peshmerga (Kurdish) allies were surprised by the appearance of an Iraqi armored column.

Hawaii Green Beret and his Special Forces team scored a key victory against the Taliban

From a ridge outside Tarin Kowt, capital of Oruzgan province, a nine-man U.S. Special Forces team, accompanied by a few dozen guerrillas and commanded by Capt. Jason Amerine, directed Navy F-18 air strikes against the approaching enemy convoy.

His helicopter riddled with bullets, he completed multiple rescue missions in Afghanistan

Engulfed in the fury, Chief Warrant Officer Sean Laycox was determined to land his Chinook and insert Special Forces soldiers near a village where several high-value Taliban leaders were meeting.
