Long time readers of this blog know that I post this every year and I will continue to do so in order that we never forget. On October 3, 1993 these brave men gave their lives in Mogadishu, Somalia. Some of you have seen the movie "Blackhawk Down", that was their story. However, it is important that we remember them and the fact that they weren't characters in a movie created by some imaginative screenwriter. They were real people, with families, thoughts, hopes, and dreams. Honor their memories and sacrifice.
