"On August 6, 2011, thirty American warriors aboard Extortion 17 perished in the single largest loss of life in Navy SEAL history. Among them--Aaron Carson Vaughn, a small-town boy who grew up in the hills of Tennessee and lived a life larger than most. Told through the eyes of Karen, Aaron's mother, this tender story of faith, family, and love grips the heart and shows how one family raised an American warrior filled with courage, tenacity, and patriotism. The Vaughns' story is not one about war or about a grieving family, but rather one of triumph and God's sustaining grace. Woven throughout their story is practical advice for today's parents. Also included at the end is a study guide for those who desire to go deeper and learn how to raise children who live life so well that they leave a legacy. 'A revealing and insightful glimpse into the life and tragic loss of Aaron Vaughn, a SEAL Team Six warrior and hero. Extortion 17 is a mission that is forever etched in SEAL Team infamy as the worst single day in our nation's SPEC OPS history. This book is a must read for those who want to understand the sacrifice of the men, and the families, who have given all in the battle of the War on Terror.'--Scott McEwen, co-author of American Sniper"--Jacket.
