Why We Made This Record
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon on the 3rd of Oct 1993 when someone in the hangar yelled out "Get it on!" A mission was coming down. It was time to gear up. And just like that. Our lives were changed and bound forever.
About 150 men from Task Force Ranger were sent into downtown Mogadishu, Somalia in search of a warlord. We knew going in that it was a particularly bad part of town. But what we didn't know, is we would come back the next morning with 18 men gone and 78 wounded. We lost another man to mortar fire 3 days later.
For those of us who make it out of something like that, you spend the rest of your life thanking the men on your left and on your right. Because by the grace of God, they are the reason I am still here today.
