Neptune Spear

On the night of May 2, 2011, twenty-three Navy SEALs flew two stealth Black Hawks deep into Pakistani airspace on a mission that had never been attempted — a unilateral raid into a sovereign nation's military district to eliminate the world's most wanted man.

No ally was told. No permission was asked. The intelligence wasn't certain. If the SEALs were caught or killed inside Pakistan, there was no rescue plan and no diplomatic cover. President Obama authorized the mission knowing it could end his presidency.

In the White House Situation Room, the president, vice president, secretary of state, and senior military leaders watched a live feed in near silence. One photograph captured the moment — a room full of the most powerful people on earth, utterly powerless to do anything but wait.

The SEALs completed the mission in 38 minutes. Osama bin Laden was dead. A decade-long manhunt ended in a compound in Abbottabad.

Trailblazers accept risk others won't touch. At {BUSINESS_NAME} in {CITY}, you make decisions every day where the outcome is uncertain but the mission is clear.
