“On November 10, the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment lost five soldiers when their helicopter crashed during a training flight over the Mediterranean sea. Their names are CW3 Stephen R. Dwyer of Clarksville, TN; CW2 Shane M. Barnes of Sacramento, CA; SSG Tanner W. Grone of Gorham, NH; SGT Andrew P. Southard of Apache Junction, AZ; and SGT Cade M. Wolfe, of Mankato, MN. In honor of the brave Night Stalkers of 1st Battalion, Charlie Company, I want to recite a few portions of the Night Stalker Creed for the record. Service in the 160th is a calling only a few will answer for the mission is constantly demanding and hard.

I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record the complete Night Stalker Creed. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: Night Stalker Creed Service in the 160th is a calling only a few will answer for the mission is constantly demanding and hard.

As a member of the Night Stalkers I am a tested volunteer seeking only to safeguard the honor and prestige of my country, by serving the elite Special Operations Soldiers of the United States.…”
