On this day 24 years ago , Operation Gothic Serpent kicked off in the city of Mogadishu, Somalia. What began as a well coordinated mission to apprehend top level enemy personnel, it quickly turned into a fight for survival in order to achieve one thing: leaving no one behind. “There comes a point in the battle where everybody comes to peace with the fact that if I die here, I die here, but I’m not going to let that happen to the people around me,” - Sgt. Keni Thomas, Task Force Ranger #rltw #delta #mog #taskforce #military #neverforget #somalia
