For the first time since the events of "Black Hawk Down", U.S. Army Rangers return to Mogadishu, Somalia twenty years later relive the firefight in the city streets.

Jeff Streucker is one of the best examples of a person I know. He started in RRD (Ranger Recon Det) and jumped into Panama in 89, fought with 1st Batt in Desert Storm, B 3/75 for Operation Gothic Serpent (Somalia 93), and was our chaplin for 2d Batt for OEF/OIF. He won the Best Ranger Competition 2 years in a row (95-96 I believe) and will still out road march and shoot most people I know. On top of that, he will give you a no BS, straight forward answer or talk anytime, anywhere. One of the greatest men I have ever fought with and known... If you get the chance, read his book The Road to Unafraid, whether you are religious of not.

Cool. Very cool.

Still seems like just a few days ago and not almost 20 years ago.

They have a web site set up for this. Sounds like they are going to release a short film in October. http://bpfaith.com/

By the way, search Bullet Proof Faith. Not Bulletproof Faith, that will get you this ... "Bulletproof Faith: A Spiritual Survival Guide for Gay and Lesbian Christians" [facepalm]

Agreed. Hard to believe it was 20 years ago.

The war lord's son went back to Somlia after the civil war and he seeks to become as "great" as his dad....

Good video & looking forward to the release of the film from the return. In the meantime, good excuse to fire up 'Black Hawk Down' again.

That place is a shithole. I am glad he was able to return to Mogadishu and tell his story. God bless the warriors.
