Remembering The Battle of Al-Najaf 20 years later with Chris White

Join Travis Haley with special guest, Chris White, as they
reflect on the events that took place 20 years ago in Al-Najaf,
Iraq.


April 4th, 2024 will mark the 20th Anniversary of the Battle of
Al-Najaf, Iraq. It was on that day in 2004 that a small team of
coalition forces and Blackwater Contractors faced off against the
overwhelming force of the Mahdi Army. In spite of the many
obstacles stacked against them, acts of courage, duty, and
perseverance enabled the defending coalition and Blackwater
Contractors to hold off the Mahdi Army while Blackwater Air Teams
provided critical sustainment equipment and life saving
evacuation efforts. The Battle of Al-Najaf represents one of the
largest insurgent attacks during the Iraq War, we stand together
on 4/4 in remembrance of the brave men who selflessly risked
everything to save their brothers.
