ASHEBORO — A recognized hero, Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Wayne Bray, 49, a Randolph County, N.C. native, died Oct. 24 at Columbus Regional Healthcare.

You might not know his name, but his actions in Somalia in 1993 earned him a Silver Star —and those actions were later portrayed in the movie, “Black Hawk Down.”

RIP Brother!

I was honored to have met several of those depicted in the movie.

They would be the last alive to call them selves heros.
They are and were, good men that did what needed done.
