Today, we remember a hero. Staff Sgt. Dylan Elchin, a #SpecialTactics #combatcontroller, gave the ultimate sacrifice one year ago today while deployed to Afghanistan. Read the heartfelt thoughts that the 26th Special Tactics Squadron commander shared with Dylan's teammates last year. Our community shares a bond that cannot be broken, even during the toughest of times. Dylan is sorely missed by all, but will never be forgotten. Til Valhalla. "We are the lucky ones, surrounded by warriors who will intimately understand that freedom requires brave and noble people who will always march forward, always toward the sound of gunfire, carrying the same torch of freedom that Dylan so honorably hoisted as he passed from this world to the next ... Together we must continue the mission, honor his legacy, and never forget what Dylan gave that we might be free."
