Preserve the legacy of the 160th SOAR(A)
UNIT HISTORY
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.

OUR IMPACT…
Dear Friends of the Night Stalker Foundation,
It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of a helicopter crash that occurred on September 17, near Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state. Four members of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) — our Night Stalkers — made the ultimate sacrifice while conducting a training mission.
We honor the lives of:
Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Cully, of Sparta, Missouri
Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Kraus, of Sanibel, Florida
Sergeant Donavon Scott, of Tacoma, Washington
Sergeant Jadalyn Good, of Mount Vernon, Washington
“The soldiers embodied the unwavering dedication, selflessness, and excellence that define the very spirit of the Army and Army Special Operations. Their sacrifice in service to our nation will forever be etched in our hearts and in the legacy of the Night Stalkers.”
-Colonel Stephen Smith, Commander of the 160th SOAR(A)
As a Foundation, we remain steadfast in our commitment to support their families and to ensure their memory is honored. We ask that you keep these soldiers, their loved ones, and the entire Night Stalker community in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
We humbly ask you to consider making a contribution to the Night Stalker Foundation today to empower our ability to support the families of our fallen. When tough times fall upon our Night Stalkers, we answer the call to ease the burden. Help us serve those that made the ultimate sacrifice.
Every dollar makes a difference in caring for the families of our fallen and sustaining programs that strengthen the Night Stalker community.
On behalf of the Night Stalker Foundation Board and Staff, thank you for standing with us as we care for those who serve — past, present, and future.
NSDQ,
The Night Stalker Foundation
