"On the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception in 2012, a team of Navy
SEALs navigated the mountains of remote eastern Afghanistan in
darkness, on a daring mission to rescue a captured U.S. doctor.
"Accompanying the SEALs was Chief Petty Officer Special Warfare
Operator Edward C. Byers Jr., a Catholic with a devotion to St. Michael
the Archangel.
"A SEAL since 2001, Byers had already seen seven straight years of
combat. He was unaware of the feast day due the gravity of the operation
and lack of access to a church."
A recent Catholic News Agency article profiled on CPO Byers, including his actions on this mission and his subsequent ministries.
