The helicopter crash that killed 25 U. S. Special Operations members and five crewmen in Afghanistan on August 6 has left their families heartbroken and leaning on the tight-knit military community.
Of the fallen, 17 were Navy SEALS, five belonged to a Navy Special Warfare unit, five were from the army and three served in the Air Force. All but two of the SEALs were from SEAL Team Six, the unit that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in May. According to the Associated Press, none of the servicemen killed took part in the mission.
As loved ones grieve, the Navy SEAL Foundation offers up support by providing families with funding for memorial services, scholarships for children and spouses and assistance with other financial needs.
