Night Stalkers Honored for Their Bravery

SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - They are the 3rd Battalion 160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment, also called the Night Stalkers. We don't see them very often and almost never at work, but on Friday we went to a very public ceremony to honor the men who so often serve in the shadows of Special Forces soldiers.

You don't hear much about their missions because they are top secret. Their families don't even know and the men often leave in the middle of the night at a moment's notice.

The 1-60 Special Operations Aviation Regiment stood in front of their families and friends at Hunter Army Airfield to receive high honors.

Night Stalker Chief Warrant Officer Timothy Denton was awarded the distinguished Flying Cross Medal for leading a flight into dangerous territory. Read more.

To all of those who protect our freedom, we salute you!

Halloween Safety Starts at Home

Keep your little ghosts and goblins safer this All Hallows Eve!

• Make sure shoes and costumes fit well in order to prevent falling, entanglement and fire hazards.
• Consider non-toxic makeup or a festive hat as a safe alternative to a mask, which can limit or block eyesight.
  
• Purchase only flame resistant costumes and accessories.
• Clear a path to your front door. Be sure to eliminate flower pots, tree limbs, electrical wires or garden hoses that may be an obstacle for children rushing from door to door.
• Test your flashlight and replace old batteries.
• Make sure your children know their phone number. Teach them to dial 9-1-1 in case of emergency or if they lose their way home.
  

From all of us at Fred Williams, we wish you a safe and spooktacular Halloween!
