He was deployed on multiple occasions and his heroism was recognized by numerous combat awards including four Bronze Stars with valor. He spoke multiple languages, climbed some of the world's highest mountains, and was an Eagle Scout, pilot, skydiver, musician and triathlete. On August 6, 2011, a Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, was shot down by enemy fire in Afghanistan ending the lives of 30 American military men and one working dog on board. Brian was one of 17 SEALs aboard that helicopter.
