INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Lt. Gen. Thomas Montgomery is returning to Indianapolis in celebration of Armed Forces Day.
His name probably doesn’t sound familiar, but his actions during the U.S. Military involvement in 1993 Somalia inspired the critically-acclaimed film, “Black Hawk Down.”

The Indianapolis native and IU Graduate is returning to give an inside look at his experience commanding the U.S. Military in 1993 Somalia.
The presentation will be at the Indiana War Memorial, Friday, May 18, starting at 6:30 p.m.
