When the Boeing CH-47D Chinook helicopter was hit, all on board were instantly killed. The resulting crash killed 31 Americans on board including 17 US Navy SEALs. Extortion 17 represents the greatest single-incident loss of American lives in Operation Enduring Freedom – Afghanistan.

Sur-Ser Continuum. A Survivor is too busy trying to live through the day to think of anything outside of himself. A Sad Clown is too consumed with trying to achieve a perfect balance between what he takes and what he gives to do anything but daydream of a better place. Only the Servant, the person whose Purpose it is to seek Advantage for others, has the capacity to transcend his own material and spiritual needs long enough to put Vision into action.
