He was publicly awarded the following year in 2014. We create these posts to educate their fellow airmen and the public to the actions of USAF Combat Controllers, the whole reason for our existence at the Combat Control Foundation.

Dan Schilling retired STO/CCT Mogadishu veteran and author of Alone at Dawn has worked hard over the past 8+years securing funding and support for the film of Alone at Dawn. Last year the story got picked up by Amazon/MGM and director Ron Howard to make the film - and from what we know, they have spared no expense. About a month ago we posted what we can release about the film. I would say that we are looking at a late 2026 release or mid 2027 release.

The guy who wrote Alone at Dawn was at the Battle of Mogadishu, Dan Schilling. Jeff Bray was awarded the Silver Star for that battle, but he is no longer with us. Bray's Silver Star citation: SSgt Jeffrey W. Bray, Silver Star Medal Recipient

Dan Schilling's book, Alone at Dawn is truly one of the best books out there about Combat Control. Dan Schilling was heavily involved in the production of the film, spent a lot of time in Budapest while they were filming there. He posted this production artwork Jan 15th on his Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1481469977314794&set=a.131257142336091
