A U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 143 refuels from an Air Force KC-10 Extender tanker aircraft assigned to the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing on May 2, 2010, over Afghanistan. In May 2011, Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011, “represents 2.2 million men and women -- active, Guard and Reserve." This scene is from Operation Enduring Freedom -- the operation started immediately after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. (U.S. Navy Photo/Lt. Cmdr. Ben Stickney)
