Our personal message:

Thank you for supporting our efforts for the Night Stalker Association!  We look forward to pounding out the many, many miles to raise money for some of our nation's greatest Aviation Warriors and thier families - and we need your help and support!

The Night Stalker Association was established to preserve the memories and comradeship kindled by the mutual experience of service with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) – the “Night Stalkers.”  The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment’s operates worldwide in support of contingency missions and warfighting commanders. Known as Night Stalkers, these Soldiers are recognized for their proficiency in nighttime operations - "We Own the Night."  They are highly trained and ready to accomplish the very toughest missions in all environments, anywhere in the world, day or night, with unparalleled precision. They employ highly modified Chinook, Black Hawk and assault and attack configurations of Little Bird helicopters.

Soldiers of the 160th have been actively and continuously engaged in the combat operations since October 2001. Today, the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment continues a sustained and active forward presence in the U.S. Central Command area of operations at multiple locations in support of operations Enduring and Iraqi freedom, in Afghanistan and Iraq respectively.

The Night Stalker Association renders assistance to worthy members, their surviving spouses, and families by means of college grants, loans, special financial assistance, camaraderie, and personal guidance.  They also assist members in local and national reunions to perpetuate the "Night Stalkers Don't Quit" spirit and tradition for future generations!
