When Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, Smith didn’t wait for bureaucratic red tape—he mobilized a massive number of Special Operations Veterans and civilian volunteers which resulted in the formation of Savage Freedoms Relief Operations.

Their effort executed over 2,500 air sorties and countless ground missions to deliver life-saving supplies where FEMA and State Authorities dropped the ball. Since Helene SFRO has deployed to VA, WV, KY, CA, and Texas to provide support and assistance to those who have lost everything.

EP-397 | Daughter of Black Hawk Down Ranger First Sergeant: Preserving 1SG Glenn Harris’s Legacy

A Ranger recounts the sudden shift from training to chaos after the “boom” — helicopters struck, smoke and gunfire, and a race through Mogadishu to extract teammates. They focused on the Ranger Creed.

The episode traces Colonel Larry Perino's (then Lieutenant) path from West Point and Ranger training to Task Force Ranger in Somalia, describing fast‑rope assaults, ambushes, downed aircraft, and the desperate vehicle and foot exfil under heavy fire.

He reflects on the losses, survivor’s guilt, the duty to remember fallen comrades, and how the experience shaped leadership and care for soldiers afterward.
