"Committed, Dedicated, Anonymous"
It's been over 12 years since an unfortunate turn of events in Mogadishu took the lives of 18 brave Americans. I vividly remember the disgust, anger, fury and horror I felt when I saw Bill Cleveland's body decimated on CNN.I was idly surfing the net tonight and stumbled across the Philadelphia Inquirer's archived pages of Mark Bowden's original story that became a best seller and box office hit.
No political statement here, I just thought that it would be nice if people took a moment to remember. I'm sure they've earned it.

Blackhawk Down was a pretty compelling depiction. I like your 'in memory' posts.
Thanks; it was indeed a very fair depiction of what happened. I particularly like how the book showed the view points of the Somalis near the Market Square and melded it with the story of the Soldiers.
