Mike Durant
MH-60 Black Hawk pilot with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Shot down over Mogadishu in 1993 during the mission that would become known as Black Hawk Down. Held captive for 11 days. His story — of survival, honor, and brotherhood — is one of the most powerful firsthand accounts in modern American military history.
