Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 today marks the 20th. anniversary of the battle of Mogadishu, one of the longest days of my life, and a true testament to the sacrifice brothers in arms pay for each other and this great country. I will raise a glass to my 18 fallen brothers tonight and remember the courage I witnessed that day and night. Rafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlietwogunz Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Rafe, That imortal battle and selfless sacrifices made by our valiant troops should never be forgotten. May God Bless you and your compatriots and their families on this day and as you deal with the memories of one of the bloodiest battles ever fought in Africa by Modern U..S. Forces. The heroism displayed that day is legendary. Thanks for the reminder. 2 Gunz "Honor To Whom Honor Due" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Classic Lesson of Come Big or Stay home. Our leaders failed a lot of good men on that day. Saddest part the lessons were not really learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
