The attack on Thursday, August 26, 2021, at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, killed 13 U.S. servicemembers, making it the deadliest single day of the war for the United States in over a decade. The American servicemembers went above and beyond the call of duty to protect citizens of the United States and allies to ensure they were brought to safety during an extremely dangerous situation as the Taliban regained control over Afghanistan.

The obverse (heads) design depicts five servicemembers in silhouette standing over a crowd of people waiting to board a C-17 aircraft with the mountains of Kabul in the background. There are 13 stars incused over their heads, representing the 13 fallen servicemembers who gave their lives while helping civilians evacuate from Afghanistan.

This reverse (tail) design features an American flag and the names of the fallen servicemembers surrounded by a wreath.
