Patriot Award Honoree

Dillon Behr
Dillon was part of a unit of U.S. Army Green Berets who ventured into Afghanistan’s remote Shok Valley in April 2008 on a mission to take out leaders of an insurgent group who had set up their base in a local village. After ascending two miles up a mountain slope to their destination, the Green Berets were spotted by the enemy and suddenly found themselves under fierce attack, and had to fight a desperate seven-hour battle. Dillon’s story “To Hell and Back” was featured on Nat Geo in July as part of a series called “No Man Left Behind”
