Support for our Families of the Fallen
Preserve the legacy of the 160th SOAR(A)
The 160th was formed in response to our country’s need for a unique night-flying aviation rotary wing capability. After failing to rescue the hostages in Iran, the U.S. Army formed the 160th with the motto of “Never Again.” From its inception in 1981, Night Stalkers have fought and bled in every combat action this nation has embarked upon. This relatively small unit has 104 names on its Memorial Wall, demonstrating the resolve of these brave men, women and Families. We will ensure that the unit’s motto of “Night Stalkers Don’t Quit” continues as we care for those who serve this storied organization. Partner with us and enable these great Warriors and Families.
