It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the loss of five great Americans from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment:

No words can fully capture the sense of loss or quiet the sadness we are feeling. The outpouring of support and condolences reflects the incredible lives these Night Stalkers led.

Many have asked what they can do. Our mission is to be prepared, so we are preparing to support the families and soldiers of the Regiment as needed. Your thoughts, prayers, and contributions make a difference.

Thank you for standing with us in this difficult time.
