“I gave my life to God in Mogadishu.”
From basic training to Airborne School, from Ranger School to the Ranger Regiment, and then… to Mogadishu, Somalia: That’s how Brian McCroskey’s military career started.
He was a young enlisted Ranger in the battle of Mogadishu, where he earned the Purple Heart. He was forced to medically separate from the military as a result of those wounds, but eventually returned as an Infantry officer. As an officer, he served in the 82nd Airborne Division, the Ranger Regiment, and as a Ranger Instructor at 6th Ranger Training Battalion in Florida.
But that’s just the backdrop to the story. The real story, the one happening in him and to him all along the way, is how Brian drew close to Christ and never let go.
