On Thursday, November 12, 20202, eight international peacekeepers, including six Americans, lost their lives serving our country during a reconnaissance mission when their UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. There was one survivor, an American, who has been hospitalized in serious condition. While the crash investigation is in its early stages, preliminary reports indicate a mechanical failure may have been one of the contributing causes of the crash.
