Echo Valor: He Stood Alone - Takur Ghar, 2002
from Echo Valor Podcast Hosted by David Burnell
On March 4, 2002, on a snow-covered summit in Afghanistan, a helicopter insertion turned into a fight for survival. A teammate fell into enemy-held terrain. The team moved toward him under fire. And in the chaos that followed, Technical Sergeant John A. Chapman—an Air Force Combat Controller attached to a Navy SEAL element—was wounded, separated, and later fought on after others believed he was dead. This is Echo Valor: service without spectacle—where the decision to stay becomes the difference between who returns and who doesn’t.
