Daisy Mountain Veterans Parade Honors Operation Red Wings
Anthem – The Daisy Mountain Veterans Parade Honors the 20th Anniversary of Operation Red Wings- the most highly decorated small team action in Naval history. Grand Marshals for this year’s parade are families of the fallen. The parade is on Saturday November 8th at 10:00am.
On June 28, 2005, a four-man SEAL team was on a mission in the Kunar Province, Afghanistan to capture or kill a high-ranking Taliban target-Amah Shah.
The SEAL team consisted of Sonar Technician 2nd Class (SEAL) Matthew Axelson, Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class (SEAL) Danny Dietz, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (SEAL) Marcus Luttrell and was led by (SEAL) Lt. Michael P. Murphy.
After the mission was compromised, a fierce fire fight with one rescue helicopter shot down, 11 Navy SEALs and 8 Army Night Stalkers had lost their lives.
Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (SEAL) Marcus Luttrell was the only one to survive Operation Red Wings.
“It’s a privilege to honor those involved with Operation Red Wings. We must never forget the sacrifice these brave men made for our country,” stated Dennis Salibury, President of the Daisy Mountain Veterans.
