Title: A veteran has died
Post by: SunTracker on January 17, 2004, 09:28:14 PM

Just saw on the news, Warrant Officer Aaron Weaver, veteran of the Battle of Mogadishu (BlackHawk Down) and cancer survivor, died in a helicopter crash in Iraq.  Governor Jeb Bush attended his funeral.

I remember reading about him when I was doing research on the battle of mogadishu.  Now that was some firefight.

Weaver was Ranger Sergeant in Somalia and was one of the men who volunteered to lead a unit towards the downed Black Hawk helicopters.
