Most of the connections I've built through my engineering career only know the engineer. Very few know about my time in the Navy, or what came after. There's a photo in this video I never planned to share. It's me in a hospital bed, recovering after a suicide attempt. I served as a U.S. Navy Search and Rescue Swimmer, with multiple deployments to Somalia. Our motto is "So Others May Live." I knew how to go after other people, I didn't know how to ask for help myself. Healing started with therapy. Then I found the trail. Getting out in nature on a mountain bike became part of my recovery. And I didn't do it alone. Organizations like Task Force Dagger Special Operations Foundation, All Secure Foundation and The Dirt Therapy Project (TDTP) kept me grounded and literally saved my life. Today I'm an engineer and a downhill racer. I still fall, I get back up. Now I advocate for veterans and active duty service members to get outside and heal through riding, because nobody should have to heal alone. If you're carrying something heavy: → Talk to someone. → Get outside. → Keep going. We are stronger than we think. Veterans, service members, and families: reach the Veterans Crisis Line by dialing 988 and pressing 1, or texting 838255. If this reaches someone who needs it, please share it. #Veterans #VeteranMentalHealth #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealth #MountainBiking

Task Force Dagger Shortly after the joint special operation forces departed Objective Gecko, Army Special Forces teams infiltrated northern Afghanistan from Uzbekistan and linked up with the Northern Alliance, building upon the critical groundwork and relationships established by the Northern Afghanistan Liaison Team (NALT). Working alongside their Afghan partners, these Green Berets trained, equipped, advised, and coordinated anti-Taliban forces while directing devastating U.S. airpower against enemy positions. Some operating on horseback across Afghanistan’s unforgiving mountains and valleys, the men who became known as the “Horse Soldiers” combined unconventional warfare, indigenous partnerships, and precision airpower to break Taliban control, liberate key cities, and fundamentally change the course of the campaign. Together with their Afghan partners and supporting aircrews, they helped topple the Taliban regime in a matter of weeks and denied al-Qaeda the sanctuary from which it had attacked the United States. The men of Task Force Sword and Dagger operated far from established bases and without the conventional support normally available to a deployed force, these Special Operations warriors depended upon one another—their courage, skill, adaptability, and unbreakable trust. Their actions stand as an enduring testament to the courage, sacrifice, and fighting spirit of America’s Special Operations community—and to those who answered the nation’s call when America took the fight to the enemy. #TaskForceDagger #SpecialForces #HorseSoldiers #SpecialOperations
America Strikes Back On October 19, 2001—just 38 days after the attacks of September 11—America’s Special Operations Forces launched the opening ground combat operations of the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Task Force Dagger and Task Force Sword carried out distinct but complementary missions designed to strike al-Qaeda, remove the Taliban regime that provided it sanctuary, and demonstrate America’s ability to reach its enemies anywhere in the world. Task Force Sword Staging from the USS Kitty Hawk, joint special operations forces conducted a daring presidentially directed strategic raid on the Taliban’s Whitehouse in Kandahar. Designated objective Gecko, it was the Taliban’s spiritual center of gravity and home to the supreme leader of Afghanistan, Mullah Omar. It remains the longest helicopter assault in history. Simultaneously Rangers departed Oman in MC-130s and jumped in and seized an airfield southwest approximately 95 kilometers outside of Kandahar-an objective designated as Rhino. While this was going on a Blackhawk unfortunately rolled over on landing at MSS Honda, Pakistan while staging as part of the Mobility Reserve. Army Rangers SPC Jonn J. Edmunds and PFC Kristofor T. Stonesifer were the first 2 losses in the GWOT. Comparable in spirit to the Doolittle Raid of World War II, the Gecko Raid carried strategic significance beyond the immediate target. It represented the opening U.S. ground-combat actions of the war and demonstrated that America possessed both the reach and the resolve to strike its enemies in their own sanctuary. The next morning because of the Gecko raid, intercepted Taliban senior leadership communications “If America Can Do This – God Help Us”. The task force continued operations over the next few months including Tora Bora and the liberation of Kandahar in December. #TaskForceDagger #SpecialForces #HorseSoldiers #SpecialOperations
