Fellow Warriors And Citizens
The Last Full Measure of Devotion honors U.S. Army Special Operations Command’s 382 fallen warriors in the twenty years since the 9-11 terrorist attacks. It is a testament to the patriotism, courage, and selfless service of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our Nation and its founding principles.
May the heroes honored herein inspire us to renew our commitment to the noble cause of freedom, for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. Their indomitable spirit and sacrifice serve as a constant reminder of why Army Special Operations Forces are, and will remain, without equal.
We Shall Not Forget.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking I joined the Army out of some misguided, short–lived sense of patriotism. My sense of duty and place in the Army was something I couldn’t get rid of. I had and have a deep [seated] feeling of pride and joy in my heart and in my soul when I was/am protecting someone. What I was most proud of and died protecting was you, those I loved, my country, and my God.Letter from SGT Tyler N. Holtz to his family,
delivered by a fellow Ranger on Holtz’s request in the event of his demise
