It's been a year today since that terrible Chinook crash in Wardak province, Afghanistan, claimed the lives of so many soldiers, the majority of them from the SEAL and AFSOC communities.

My upcoming release (I think January, but do not yet have a specific release date) features a similar incident based on this event. It was a huge blow to the Spec Ops community as a whole, and I'm thinking of these men and their families today.
