The famous Operation Lion Claws has been going strong for 6 years. Hatchet Force has had the honor to attend the Last 6. It’s become a tradition, where we honor our servicemen and women on Memorial Day, meet old friends and have a great weekend. This year marks the first event officially sponsored by the US Army. Thanks to everyone who made this this year a great one.
