11 Days & A Wake Up | The Story of Chosen Company at Wanat

The Battle of Wanat occurred on July 13, 2008, at a remote outpost in Wanat, Afghanistan, where 48 U.S. and 24 Afghan soldiers were almost overrun by over 200 Taliban & AQ fighters. With only 11 days left before returning home, the Paratroopers of Chosen Company engaged in an over 4-hour long battle at close quarters; ultimately holding their ground in the end, 9 U.S. paratroopers were KIA during the fight and 27 seriously wounded, making it one of the single-deadliest battles throughout the War in Afghanistan. 11 Paratroopers earned Silver Stars for their actions that day, with SSG Ryan Pitts also earning the Medal of Honor. This documentary was written by the Gold Star Father of CPL Pruitt Rainey (KIA in the Battle of Wanat) and was originally published by @BattleofWanat (original video link:    • 11 days and a Wake Up  ). This is uploaded here purely for the reason of being another source for people to find and honor their story, and is not intended for any personal gain. REMEMBERING SPC Sergio Abad CPL Jonathan Ayers CPL Jason Bogar 1LT Jonathan Brostrom SGT Israel Garcia CPL Jason Hovater CPL Matthew Phillips CPL Pruitt Rainey CPL Gunnar Zwilling To my regular viewers, I understand this is not a normal video considering it is an hour and a half long and also not related to gaming; however, I want to have it on here for those that are willing to watch and learn about what these guys went through and to make sure their stories are never forgotten. I promise it is worth the time. #11DaysAndAWakeUp #BattleOfWanat #ChosenFew
