SFC Randy Shughart RIP (MoH) October, 1993 Mogadishu
MSG Tim "Griz" Martin RIP (SS) October, 1993 Mogadishu

slow hand salute to all you heroes....

Randy Shughart. That name rings a bell. Wasnt he one of the 2 Delta Force that tried to hold them off? I saw the movie and that has stuck with me. If you knew him, know that he is remembered by others that didn't know him because of his sacrifice. I think I am remembering that correctly.

You got it right. I served two years with Shughart , 3rd plt B2/75. He and Gordon (MoH) were the two delta snipers. Griz was B 2/75 also and got taken out by an RPG round to his lower unit. He survived quite a while. Gilden was A2/75, we all served together . All of em were studs!

A good friend of mine was killed by friendly fire in Viet Nam. He was a native American Indian from the Digger tribe in Capay Valley Ca. I have a penciled paper from his name on "the Wall", RIP Kip Hadley
