Thirteen years later, we gather to remember their courage, honor their sacrifice, and ensure the story of Extortion 17 is never forgotten.
Honoring the Fallen – Extortion 17 Commemorative Release
On August 6, 2011, a U.S. CH-47D Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, was lost in Afghanistan during a mission to support fellow service members. Thirty Americans — including 17 Navy SEALs, Air Force special operators, and Army pilots and crew — along with Afghan partners and a military working dog, made the ultimate sacrifice that day. Their courage, commitment, and love for their brothers-in-arms will never be forgotten.
At Callsign Brewing, our mission has always been to honor heroes. On Saturday, August 30, we will release a special commemorative beer in tribute to the warriors of Extortion 17, their families, and all who serve. Extortion 17 commemorative T-shirts and glassware will be available for purchase, with a portion of proceeds going to charity.
This all-day event will conclude with an evening of remembrance, community, and live music by Jake Hammerstone from 4–7 PM.
