On August 26th, 2021, the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, was attacked. Below I am listing the names and accomplishments of the 13 fallen soldiers we lost that day.

Voyager – My Favorite!
I’m going to take a lot of flack for this: Star Trek: Voyager is my favorite Star Trek series. There, I said it. For the woefully ignorant, Voyager follows a starship of the same name.
