You are invited to hear from America’s Elite Special Operations Aviators, the Night Stalkers. The Night Stalkers have flown on every high-stakes clandestine operation starting with Grenada in 1983, Panama, Somalia, Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Bin Laden Raid, and many, many more. On this night we will gather to honor those who flew on the “Black Hawk Down” mission on the 3rd of Oct, 1993 in Mogadishu Somalia. This mission rings loudly in the minds of every Night Stalker when they hear the unit motto, Night Stalkers Don’t Quit! Guests will have a chance to hear directly from those who flew, fought and led this mission. Together, we will honor their service and sacrifice.
Funds raised will directly support the Families, Aviators, and Soldiers of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), with programs such as The Family Collaborative, Emergency Assistance, and Scholarships for dependents, families, and soldiers. The storied 160th SOAR (A) has been continuously deployed since 9-11. These Quiet Professionals are ready to move at a moment’s notice anytime, anywhere, arriving time on target plus or minus 30 seconds. They carry the burden of a free nation, securing its democracy and way of life.
