Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" (Isaiah 6:8 NIV)
On 6 August, 2011, Taliban insurgents shot down a US Military CH-47 Chinook helicopter in the wee hours of the morning as it arrived for a mission in Eastern Afghanistan. Everyone on board was killed, including 22 US Navy SEALs. To America, those killed were brave soldiers. To me, my family, and my community, they were warriors like no others; they were our friends, our husbands, our dads, our sons. One of these fearless men who made this extraordinary sacrifice for his country was my dear friend. He was my husband’s best friend and our daughter’s Godfather. His name was SOC (SEAL) John Faas.
