en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Gordon BLACKHAWK DOWN After the attack on the United States on September 11, 2001, United States Special Forces units were inserted into Afghanistan to assist the Northern Alliance forces in overthrowing the Taliban and Al-Qaeda terrorists. Following an intense mountain battle known as Operation Anaconda in March 2002, U.S. troops searching a bunker complex found a GPS unit and holding pouch labeled G. Gordon. Intelligence analysts believed at first this was Sergeant Gordons GPS unit that he purchased on the private market and used in Somalia. The Gordon family was notified immediately of the find prior to the information being released to the public.[6] It ultimately turned out that it wasnt Gordons GPS but one of a helicopter pilot lost in an earlier fight during Operation Anaconda.[7][8]
