The Delta Force Hero Who Died Saving Hostages: VIDEO
Joshua Wheeler is an American hero and a legend in the Special Operations community.
Wheeler, a Delta Force operator, was killed on a 2015 hostage rescue mission in Iraq to save people ISIS was planning on executing. He paid the ultimate price to save complete strangers.
I spoke with Mike Burke, who served with Wheeler in the Army Rangers, back in March about his memories of Josh and where he was when he learned that his former teammate and close friend had been killed in action.
You can listen to Mike explain his memories of learning of Wheeler's death in the video below (hit the follow button on Instagram for more pro-America content), and make sure to shoot me your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
It's clearly an emotional topic for everyone who knew Josh, and we can't let his memory be forgotten. It takes a great kind of man to be willing to die for complete strangers. It takes a hero, and that's who Josh was. A hero. Make sure to follow along at all the social accounts below for more content:
