The 1994 Black Hawk shootdown incident, sometimes referred to as the Black Hawk Incident, was a "friendly fire" incident over northern Iraq that occurred on April 14, 1994 during Operation Provide Comfort (OPC). The pilots of two United States Air Force (USAF) F-15 fighter aircraft, operating under the control of a USAF airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft, misidentified two United States Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters as Iraqi Mil Mi-24 "Hind" helicopters. The F-15 pilots fired on and destroyed both helicopters, killing all 26 military service members and civilians from the United States (U.S.), United Kingdom, France, Turkey, and the Kurdish community. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Black_Hawk_shootdown_incident

Back: "We love you babe
Ricky
You came into my life so fast…
You calmed my heart from the past…
You promised me through good, through bad,
You would be there through happy and sad…
It was you Ricky that had nothing to hide…
You made me so proud
You always came through
It was you Ricky, who knew just what to do…
I now stand alone… yet have no fear,
For I know in my heart
You Ricky will always be here.
I love you Ricky In my heart you will stay
Nothing could ever take that away
