Hoch came in today to talk about Somalia. He said that Somalia was drug lord country. US troops dropped goods into Somalia like food and medical supplies. Mike Durant's helicopter wash shot down going into a tail spin. Mike injured his back and broke his leg which went through the skin. Mike was in a lot of pain and he was moved around a lot. Mike was asked to make a Pow video, the next day he was shot in the shoulder by an Ak-47. US troops told Somalia that they have to release Mike in 24 hrs and if they didn't the US troops would go to Somalia. They released him and he came back to the US. 2 months after he got out of the hospital he was training for a 10K. He did it and got his wings back after he flew the helicopter again. He wanted to be a good role model for people by giving over 300 speeches every year. Mike has 4 kids, 3 boys and 1 girl and the girl wants to be a Black Hawk.
