On the night of September 11th 2012, Benghazi erupted into chaos. Gunfire echoed, explosions lit up the sky, and the situation rapidly spiraled out of control.
Tyrone Woods, a former Navy SEAL and security contractor was told an American Ambassador was in danger.
Woods, a husband and father, could have just ignored the call and saved himself, but that wasn't who he was.
Instead, he drove to the State Department facility under heavy fire, fought his way inside, and tried in vain to locate Ambassador Stevens.
Learning that his friend was under attack, and calls for rescue were going unanswered, Glen Doherty knew what he had to do.
Doherty immediately boarded a plane from Tripoli to join the fight.
Woods and Doherty made it to the roof of the CIA annex building where they were able to protect those below and buy time.
The bullets rained down upon them, but with every second they held their ground.
There was no thought of retreat. No surrender. Just two men, side by side, protecting their brothers.
Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty died on that rooftop, fighting until their very last breath.
Because they stayed, others lived.
The headlines about the Benghazi attack have long faded. Many may never know the names of the two men who took a stand when it mattered most.
But we should NEVER FORGET the ultimate sacrifice they made for our country. 🇺🇲
RIP Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty—Benghazi, 2012.
