U.S. Air Force airmen prepare to fold the American flag during a March 4, 2015, ceremony at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan to honor seven U.S. special operators who were killed on March 4, 2002, during Operation Anaconda.

Thirteen years after this fierce early battle in the War on Terror, we honor all who fought in Operation Anaconda and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Today and every day, we pray for their families.
