The folks at NRA’s Life of Duty sent us their video of country singer and former Mogadishu Ranger, Keni Thomas, who recounts that day, October 3rd, 1993, what he saw then and how it changed his life;

Still leading the way! Good on you Keni, he definitely found his life calling – it ain’t working if you love what you do.
One more thing – thank god he no longer works for fmr Ranger
company commander COL (ret) Michael Steele. What a meathead this guy was…never got his star double thank god.
Very talented and a great story! Keni is another musician, like Madison Rising, that uses his talent to bring a strong message to as many people as possible.
I see two albums, so far, and will be getting both.
Thanks for your service and your music!
John, thanks for posting this!
Had a buddy that was in 187. He told me that COL Steele would flip out if he saw someone watching or reading or discussing Black Hawk Down.
“The world becomes a better place when someone stands and leads the way — steps forward when they’d rather say ‘not me’.” Thanks, Keni, for making the world “a better place.
Keni, it’s my pleasure to call you my brother, please don’t stop telling the story of Oct 3rd 1993. I forgot it was a Sunday afternoon and not sure if we have the day off. NSDQ
Incredible tribute to you! 🙂
