Will Keri Thomas, black hawk down mission, sing national anthem at game 1?
Country singer Keni Thomas and speaker on the Black Hawk Down mission presented the national anthem for the World Series tonight. Black Hawk Down was about Keni Thomas and fellow Task Force Rangers’ efforts in 1993 during the Battle of Mogadishu. Keni Thomas would receive the Bronze Star for Valor and the Combat Infantryman Badge. Today, Keni Thomas is a motivational speaker across the nation. But he told MLB.com tonight “This is the only song I get nervous singing. Not because I’m afraid I’m going to forget the words but just the emotion of it.” The 18 hour fight in Somalia with fellow rangers would be the basis of the book and movie Black Hawk Down. Thomas and B Company were part of the special operations package known as Task Force Ranger.
