Veteran recalls Battle of Mogadishu

Oct. 3, 1993: what began as a straightforward mission quickly spiraled into the Battle of Mogadishu —the most intense close combat since the Vietnam War. After the first Black Hawk went down, the mission suddenly changed for Norm Hooten and the Delta Force team he led. Here is Norm's story. Department of Veterans Affairs video.
