The extraordinary story of American special operator and
trailblazer Shannon Kent, who was killed at the age of 35 by a
suicide bomber while hunting high value targets on a
classified mission in Syria in 2019. Of the 1.3 million
active-duty service members in the U.S. military, only a tiny
fraction are selected as “operators” in elite special mission
units. Shannon Kent was one of the first women to serve at this
level and was widely recognized as one of the best. Shannon served
as a Cryptologic Warfare Technician, responsible for signals
intelligence and electronic warfare, but her proficiency with
language set her apart. She was assigned to the Joint Special
Operations Command, where she worked clandestinely to hunt the most
wanted terrorists in the world. Send Me is Shannon’s heroic life
story, revealing the truth of both her work and her death.
Shannon’s team wasn’t on a routine patrol the day she died, nor
out for lunch as many news outlets reported. She was hunting ISIS
cells. Joe, a retired Special Forces soldier, recalls how he
and Shannon met in a war zone, their love forged during an elite
special operations training course, their dedication spanning
multiple combat deployments and the birth of their two boys. It is
the legacy of an extraordinary woman who rose to the apex of
the military, working with the most elite forces in the world,
lifting the veil from the life of a Special Forces family to share
their duty, sacrifice, and humanity.
