On this day in 2007, B Troop, 1-91 Cavalry, 173rd Airborne, went to meet with the elders of the village Saret Koleh in Nuristan Province, Afghanistan. They were led by Captain Tom Bostick and his lieutenants. 1/ 
1LT Dave Roller and his platoon conducted overwatch of the village; here was the view earlier that day. 2/
3/ B troop was ambushed. Bostick was killed.
4/ Also KIA that day was SSG Ryan Fritsche
5/ It was a fierce day of fighting; I described it in detail in @THEOUTPOSTbook if you’re interested. I leave you with what 1LT Roller was thinking as the sun set that night on the Landay Sin River Valley.
