We are the men of Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment — a brotherhood forged in the heat of combat during our 2009–2010 deployment to Afghanistan. That deployment was one of deep sacrifice. Our battalion lost 23 brave soldiers during those harrowing months, and the memory of their courage remains etched into our lives.

Now, more than a decade later, we're working to bring the men of Bravo Company back together for the first time since that deployment. This reunion is more than just a gathering — it’s a chance to reconnect, heal, honor those we lost, and support each other in a way only those who’ve shared the battlefield can truly understand.

We’re asking for your help to make this reunion possible. The funds raised will go directly toward covering the costs of food, activities, and other expenses to ensure this gathering is meaningful and accessible for all who want to attend. Many of our brothers have faced tough times since coming home — emotionally, physically, and financially — and we want to remove as many barriers as possible to make this reunion happen.

This is about remembrance, brotherhood, and healing. Your support means more than you know — not just for a single event, but for the long-lasting bonds and strength it can restore.

Thank you for helping us come together again.

Bayonets!
