UTT (Understanding the Threat) is pleased and honored
to announce the addition of Billy Vaughn to
our team.
Billy Vaughn was born and
raised in West Tennessee and moved to Florida in 1998.
He is the Gold Star father
of fallen Navy SEAL Team VI Special Warfare Operations Chief Aaron
Carson Vaughn.
Aaron Carson Vaughn (6/24/1981 - 8/06/2011)
Aaron lost his life in the
Tangi River Valley of Afghanistan when a military helicopter carrying
30 Americans was shot down while rushing into battle as a quick
reaction force (August 6, 2011). The shoot down of Extortion 17
marked the single largest one-day loss of life in the history of
Naval Special Warfare, and the single largest one-day loss of life in
the entire war.
Since Aaron's death, Billy
has become an advocate for our war fighters, exposing the criminal
Rules of Engagement which have unnecessarily cost so many their
lives.
In 2013, Billy authored the
book Betrayed
which details the days, weeks and months after his son's death, as he
began compiling devastating information surrounding the Extortion 17
shoot down and the subsequent cover up.
Billy Vaughn has spent a
considerable amount of time on Capitol Hill, and has appeared on many
local and national radio and television news outlets.

Billy Vaughn has already
traveled across several states with the UTT team. Law
enforcement, military and civilian leaders continue to respond with
standing ovations when Billy shares his story and how it relates to
his desire to become a part of the Understanding the Threat team.

sharing his story here.
UTT is honored to have him.
