Two of the six Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, Mark “Oz” Geist and John “Tig” Tiegen, joined SFW, Utah Governor Gary Herbert and Hunts for the Brave on May 14th for a very special evening honoring America’s war veterans and remembering the truth behind the movie “13 Hours”.
It was incredible to hear first-hand about the challenges they faced the details of exactly how Ambassador Chris Stevens died and how they felt they could have saved him if they would have been given permission to go when it all started. Oz rehearsed the injuries he suffered in the battle and being on the roof that took the lives of two soldiers, He also replayed the emotion experienced in the aftermath.
These men were told to stand down by those in command while Americans were being killed. They ignored that command and fought for many lives, including their own. Oz and Tig are incredible men, true patriots and great American heroes. The unmatched scenery of the South Wasatch Back from the beautiful home of Tom Mower made the perfect setting for an unforgettable event.
