- On a cold December night in the mountains of Afghanistan, Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Edward C. Byers Jr. and a team of SEALs embarked on a dangerous mission to rescue an American hostage held by the Taliban. Byers went above and beyond the call of duty that evening, saving the life of the hostage, and earning the Medal of Honor. In this video, Byers shares the story of that evening, as well as his reaction to finding out he earned the Medal of Honor. (U.S. Navy video/RELEASED.)
Thank you for your effort to Save my cousin Nicolas Checque and Congratulations on your medal! and as always thank you for your dedication to Our Country! Its men like you that allow us to sleep peacefully at night.
+charger7022 I'm sorry for the loss of your cousin, he is a hero.
Roger Clemons may i ask, how does that affirm them being hoaxed? (you being a paramedic)
+Roger Clemons Lol.. Life in the Middle East was peaceful? You sir are a special kinda stupid.
Roger Clemons that's a HUGE negative on that peace-thing buddy. Besides the oh-so common tribal clashes, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan during the Cold War.
Roger Clemons oh, and let's not forget the various Israeli/Palestinian conflicts there as well. During the Cold War Era, in summary, the Middle East was no exception.
Massive respect to Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Edward C. Byers Jr - Such a humble guy. True warrior and another of many selfless acts these guys do. Respect to the fallen - Nick Cheque
Senior Chief
Thank God we still have such men in this country to keep us safe from harm.
The embodiment of heroism and honor. Thank you Nicholas Cheque, Edward Byers, and all who have sacrificed within Naval Special Warfare.
I don't often comment on-line, but this video had an impact on me. It has always been my experience that the toughest, most bad-ass operators in the US Armed Services are always humble professionals like Mr. Byers. I think it is a combination of the even temper one needs to engage calmly in the type of terrifying feats that people like this man are required to accomplish and a total lack of a need to brag about anything. Congrats and RIP to your fallen brother.
+ThePaddybuffalo That humbleness comes from being born and raised in Ohio!!! I am a proud Ohioan!
+Roger Clemons This coming from a poor pathetic little man who in an earlier post claimed to have saved "100's of lives"... A man who directs all the attention to his Shipmates, and another who holds his hand high in the air saying "look at me" and spews negative comments. One deserves honor and the other... Well, not so much.
You might have me blocked, but my messages do show up, and here you continue to reply between your big stock plays... lol
ThePaddybuffalo agree. These type of men are impossibly humble on the outside but ironically are so incredibly self confident which to even be a seal let alone a DEVGRU (team 6) operator you need that. These guys don’t need to say a damn thing or be told by anyone anything. They know what and who they are and we all should be thankful men like Ed and his brothers beside him are serving for us and never lose thanks for it.
I've been trying for over 30 mins to find the right words to express how much I respect our troops and can't find them. I just know that in this world there are no people that I respect more. I pray for them and the families of the fallen.
When they say " The Best of the Best " this is whom they speak of.
Hooyah Chief Checque, R.I.P
Very Humble guy!!!
I love things like this especially at the fact that I have ex Navy members in my family one of them being my own father so I just want to say thank you to all of the veterans for their time and loyalty.
Roger Clemons that would be horrible you are right
Truly an American hero, him and his fallen friend.
Congratulations young man. Thank you and your team for keeping us safe.

+Roger Clemons There is no doubt that this happened and I will not debate you on it. I mean how can I, as it is true. But this SEAL didn't do that and my thoughts are with his work and what he stands for to this Country. But what should be done about the other? I am not in a position of power to change this fact but if I was, it might have allowed it too. See, cutting off the farming culture (regardless of what part of the world we are in) and taking away their source of income (even though it can be used to manufacture drugs) is not our issue there. We were there to help combat the Taliban and allow these people to conduct a democratic government. It's their country and that role of what they need to do is up to their government to decide for itself along with what was right or wrong. If they condone it then we have to support it. Right or wrong, we aren't there to change their culture but to combat the dictatorship that surrounds their chance in a free society.
Are we good now or is there something you and I need to discuss? My suggestion to you while you read issues surrounding our military is to try and find some common sense in what you've read and why things happen the way they do before you jump on your liberal bandwagon.
you and your team have traveled through the valley of the shadow of death and emerged together victorious you are hero's
It is very moving to hear the sincerity of emotions being expressed by this American SEAL.
Thank you for your service!
Lolol totally! you know me a faithful patriot!
Now that is a fruit salad to be proud of. :)
I want to thank you, your family, and the SEAL community for your service. Congrats on a well deserved honor. It is going to be amazing seeing my 7 yo son learn in school history about the many brave men and women in our military that fought so bravely and with honor in these past wars of our generation. Congrats!!
Guns and Gear I really do not think the school kids will anything about this or any other military activity that deserves respect from the American public. Just too many liberal teachers now a days.
Thank you for your service. You deserve more than a Medal.
Mad respect. RIP Cheque
Typical unassuming person that heroes are made from. Respect from England !
Humble doesn't quite do it does it. What an immensely impressive man.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice, so we as Americans can live in a free land !
BZ Senior Chief. We need more like you and Nick.
Always and forever, thank you
🙏🙏🙏 Right on brother. Especially remembering those we've lost & their families.
This is really what our American troops are all about. CLASS and HUMILITY
God bless each one of these brave men!
SO SO SORRY ABOUT NICK. BUT YOU MY FRIEND ARE A HERO. I HAVE A FEELING YOU WILL WEAR THE MOH PROUDLY . NAVY SEALS BADDEST DUDES ON PLANET EARTH. YOU MAKE ME PROUD TO BE AMERICAN.... HOOOOOOYAAAAAA !!!!!!
Yes, indeed!
No you got that wrong my friend, Jesus opposes evil and He uses good men to fight evil in this world
Roger Clemons Jesus opuses evil, read the Bible. War is allowed
Thank you, Chief, and God bless you.
God Bless you and all the Hero's lost.
The CMH achievers are truly humble people who seem to always credit their team for their accomplishments.
Leave it to s SEAL to still remain humble. Although I hate to break it to you Senior Chief.. You are a true American Hero.....
What? Go into hostile countries navigate thru a mine field of IED's to then encounter 100's of armed men who hate you carrying mid to high caliber weapons including standard and rocket propelled grenades. Find the hostage you've never met before, throw yourself on top of them (human shield)? Ya... I doubt you can even find a SWAT video game that equals this. And by no means to I intend to belittle Cops (especially SWAT), as a high percentage of them are prior service as well... Your comparison is Apples/Oranges in an attempt to belittle this Medal of Honor recipient... Keyboard Cowboys... smh
What does any of that have to do with the actions of this Senior Chief you are trying so desperately to belittle? And please don't get me started about the media or story spinners.. There is plenty of that going on anyplace there is room for fabrication. It has nothing to do with this. Remember who blew that fabrication open. The innocent military member "Jessica Lynch". Now back on point.. So in this case, when the actual service member recalls the events, all the while down playing his role, maybe you should listen. I think you will find the majority of active duty and retired military members despise the games and political BS as much if not more than civilians....
Even using your own reference (Jessica Lynch) who refused to "suck it up" and go with a lie.. I guess she would have been doing it for that poverty level E-2 pay? You have gone from be completely uninformed to just plain ignorant.. If you can't stand behind our Military, please feel free to stand in front of them.
So you don't have a thought or experience of your own, just the Google search tool or what you've read in books. No even a good cherry picker using Jessica Lynch as an example. Now you are going to use a General to compare next to an Enlisted SEAL? I dispel you SWAT comparison, then your Jessica Lynch comment, so now you've replaced them with a snippet from a General who died over 70 years ago? smh
I salute you for your heroism may God be with you and bless you and keep you again thank you !
thank you for your service, my thoughts and prayers are with your brothers and you......completely humbled by your humility and perseverance through such arduous and, seemingly, impossible acts of valor.....I salute you and the fallen heros that serve our country......wish I could buy you a beer.....cheers mate.
There is a certain quality about SEALS that is very distinctive and borders on the super hero. I served proudly as a Marine and was fortunate to meet and shoot the breeze with a few. Every time I would I would extend my respect and props for the elite men they are I always got the humble reply. We are just soldiers like you jarhead. Great unit!
Thank you sir for your service.
Thank you for your service.
Jesus these men are unbelievable warriors
And he has an FMF ribbon. What a legend. Rah Senior.
Thank you!
Thank all you guys .
I love how they say engaged in place of "i killed" it's so professional and badass. i engaged a fly earlier today.
americas finest, best of the best, tip of the spear.
Bravo Zulu Senior Chief. Fair winds and fallowing seas Chief Cheque.
much respect sir
Well done.
Angels come from Air Land and Sea🇺🇸💀✋✊🇺🇸😇😇😇😇😇😇
Wow, what a great human. Dont take this wrong but he looks like the LT on the movie Navy Seals.
Awesome guy honorable.
God bless
Interesting. Last Wednesday night 6/17/20 on television show "SEALS" the team rescued a woman in the Middle East.
Scary. Not easy to carry out the perfect when the unknowns pop up.
Is there anyway you can tell us the name of the songs used in this interview. It's an excellent piece and an even better man, but it would be awesome if we could get a name or link or something. Thanks.
Hayden McDow renew by mark petrie
Whats the name of this ballad? It's awesome.
Devil Doc! Grats, Brother!
So humble. Didn't even explain what he did to get the medal!
I bash on people cause people say marines are the toughest and etc, i don't care, our military should be united as 1, we are people, WE ARE AMERICANS, i don't care what branch you served, if you're fighting for freedom and our country, then fight together, don't fight against your own brothers in arm. Love and respect for all branches, congrats on the MOH.
PLEASE, SOMEONE...WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS SCORE? THE MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL AND REFLECTS PERFECTLY WITH (SO) BYERS STORY. NEED THE NAME OF THIS SONG.
What's the music in the background in the beginning and how do I get it:)
Renew - Mark Petrie : you can get it on spotify bro
You will be hard pressed not to like this guy!
I read all the other posts and only one person asked the Question why wasn’t Nick awarded the MOH to ? Nick screw the engaged bull ! Nick killed the first rat than entered probably killed another rat or two while Mike is fumbling with his night vision and probably took a bullet for his Bro , and no MOH for Nick ? Maybe I’m not hearing this story right or he’s leaving something out ? And again I’m not belittling what he did at all ! I’m just pissed Nick wasn’t awarded the MOH and I’m sure his family is to . RIP Nick God bless, and God bless all are Men and Woman in arms . 🙏🏻🇺🇸
That was my greatest fear... losing a Brother. If I die because I did something stupid... oh well. If a brother dies because I made a mistake...
"You either react or You get kill!"..I am living my life in Philippines so guess were I am??
What is the song that's playing during the first 1 minute or so of the video?
I was wondering the same thing. It's a beautiful song
Yes. Any chance you or someone may look into it. It's a soothing and humbling song.
+masterchief167 I absolutely agree, I'm not surprised I was the only person who thought so. I'm not sure how to look into it, I tried using an ap that listens to music and identifies the song but it didn't work.
masterchief167 its "Renew" from Mark Petrie
Thank you!
Did you see all the other badges? There are a lot with V-Device. Guess he did a lot of badass stuff he is not allowed to Talk about.
What year did SOCS Edward Byers get into DEVGRU, I know he was in Blue squadron before Gold Squadron
08
Andrew Supko yeah but he got into Gold after they needed operators after extortion 17.
+ThaWizerdBro yea that's what I assumed too
Andrew Supko is Senior Chief Byers still operational in DEVGRU ?
