Commemorative occasion by Redstone-Huntsville AUSA Chapter, honoring heroes from the 'Black Hawk Down' incident with an awe-inspiring event.

In October, the Redstone-Huntsville AUSA Chapter is hosting two significant events aimed at preserving and honouring the voices of those who fought in the Battle of Mogadishu, a fierce urban conflict in Somalia that occurred in 1993 and claimed the lives of 18 American soldiers.

"A Legacy Remembered: The Families of Black Hawk Down"

On Thursday, October 2, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Murray Hall at the Huntsville Botanical Garden (4747 Bob Wallace Ave, Huntsville, AL) will host "A Legacy Remembered: The Families of Black Hawk Down". This event will feature stories from the families of the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Mogadishu, exploring the enduring impact of the battle on the loved ones left behind.

Limited tickets for this event are available. To secure your spot, click here. As of now, only family members of the soldiers involved in the Black Hawk Down incident have been confirmed for the event, and no information is available about the participation of other individuals beyond the families.

"A Legacy Remembered: The Families of Black Hawk Down" aims to celebrate the strength, resilience, and remembrance of the families who bravely stood by their loved ones during and after the battle.

"An Evening in Mogadishu: Remembering Black Hawk Down"

Also on Thursday, October 2, starting at 6:00 PM, The Jackson Center (6001 Moquin Drive NW, Huntsville, AL) will host "An Evening in Mogadishu: Remembering Black Hawk Down". This event will feature firsthand accounts from veterans who fought in the battle.

The evening will begin with a dinner and program, offering attendees a unique opportunity to hear personal stories from those who were there.

The proceeds from both events will benefit the U.S. Veterans Memorial Museum and the Army Heritage Center Foundation, as well as the Night Stalker Association.

These events offer a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our heroes and a chance to honour their memory while supporting organisations that work tirelessly to preserve their legacy.
