The Battle of Shok Valley, also known as Operation Commando Wrath, was a joint US-Afghan raid designed to kill or capture Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the leader of Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin (HIG) in the Shok Valley of Nuristan Province of Afghanistan on 6 April 2008. Ten Special Forces soldiers and their combat cameraman were awarded the Silver Star for bravery, the greatest number of such awards for a single battle since the Vietnam War. Our teammate John Wayne Walding was one of those men. Proud to have you on our team JW! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Shok_Valley
