This morning we had 11 cadets take on the Mogadishu Mile. Max Chapman was the first cadet to cross the line. Colonel Szewc, the old guy finished ahead of him, but he wasn’t really paying attention. If you are wondering how this all came about and curious, below is a brief overview of why we do it.
The Mogadishu Mile recognizes the actions of Task Force Ranger and the 19 service members who gave their lives during Operation Gothic Serpent. Gothic Serpent took place in Mogadishu, Somalia on October 3rd and 4th 1993. During this mission, Task Force Ranger comprised of 160 US Special Operations Forces conducted an operation to detain key leaders of the Somali National Alliance in order to reduce Mohamed Farrah Aidid’s grip on the war torn nation. Fierce fighting broke out as this elite force was surrounded by Habr Gidr militia and thousands of civilians. While ground forces moved to secure a downed Blackhawk helicopter, a second Blackhawk, Super Six Four, piloted by Warrant Officer Michael Durant was also shot down. Friendly forces were unable to move to the second crash site and the surviving crew. In an act of selfless service, Delta Operators Master Sergeant Gary Gordon and Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart volunteered to be inserted into the crash site of Super Six Four. Upon arriving at the site they aided the crew members and established a perimeter to defend their position. Ultimately their position was overrun by hostile forces, and Warrant Officer Durant was the only survivor at the crash site. He was captured by the Somali’s, and held for 11 days before being released to U.S. forces. Master Sergeant Gordon and Sergeant First Class Shughart were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for their heroic actions that saved the life of Warrant officer Durant, and represented the oath that they and their peers carried into battle that day.

Good Evening.
There will be no school tomorrow, Thursday, September 30th at Old Town High School due to a threat to the safety of our students and staff.
We are choosing to err on the side of caution to protect the safety and well-being of our community. The lost day will be added to the school calendar and made up at a later date.
If we are able to get credible information that leads to the identity of the person who made the threat, the possibility exists that we will not have to make the day up.
Old Town High School grounds will be closed for the entire day.
If any student has information that will help, they are asked to please notify Sergeant Ryan Bailey of the Old Town Police Department at 207-827-3984 or rbailey@oldtownpd.org .
Thank You,
