Thank you for this important reminder.
Thanks as well Voodoo for keeping us reminded of that day. Hard to believe it has been 20 years.

RIP to all the Warriors who have passed.
VDC, thank you for the reminder. Very sobering, indeed. Let us also remember these words from George Orwell:
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Thanks for posting this.
Somalia just needs to get wiped off the map as far as I’m concerned.
Never forget.
I will also never forget. Miss the old avatar often, probably should have left it in place.
Here you go friend:
and photo of one of the crash sites:
Some video of Jeff Struecker and Keni Thomas returning to Mogadishu.
I feel fortunate to have met a couple of the guys from that day.
Sincerest thanks to you Sam.
Also great clip Gutshot John. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the link.
Warriors. Patriots. Heroes.
For those they haven’t heard about it, MSG Paul Howe did a documentary for Panteao Productions.
Paul Howe explaining some fine points of the M4 carbine to us in a class near Atlanta, GA. I think it was around 2004 or 2005. Had to take a cell phone picture of the printed paper. I lost the original.
RIP Warriors.
Still angry about that shit.
I was 7 when it happened. I remember watching some of the news on tv in the aftermath but not specifics. RIP.
Same here. I have a hard time getting through the movie without getting mad.
I wish there were some words I could say to express my gratitude. And anger.
RIP.
