Black Hawk Down Anonymous "Black Hawk Down!" across the net came the cry A wisp from the ground brought fire to sky Two hundred heads turned in that moment so clear Yet not a first thought their own lives' fear. Pilot, soldier, sailor, crew Hell's fire below meant nothing to you Yet into the maelstrom only two could leap Against oppression fury they would reap I can still see them coughing against the desert sand Fearing naught, an upraised hand Gesturing towards the fallen, neither haughty nor proud They disappeared quickly into the rising cloud Nothing further could I offer, they doubtless knew As towards the injured with wings they flew Through smoke, through fire, and failing light Two soldiers together entered a selfless night They gave without asking A reward never known They sacrificed freely And our brother came home. Thank you.

With much respect to the soldiers who lost their life on October 3rd 1993 and their families I have prepared this page in memory of those soldiers.
