Description: MOJO 69 Memorial 8543 Navarre Pky. Navarre, Florida Access: 24/7 The tragic events of March 10, 2015 in which a United States Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter went down in the Navarre Sound, resulting in the death of four Soldiers and seven Marines, polarized the nation and rocked the Navarre area and Santa Rosa County. Santa Rosa County and the surrounding areas of Northwest Florida have a proud history of military service and support and the members of Leadership Santa Rosa Class 29 who started and completed the memorial in an incredible 18 months. The Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter, with a crew of four Louisiana Army National Guardsmen, callsign Mojo 69, was on a flight that departed Eglin Air Force Base site A-15 at approximately 8:16 pm to conduct Rolled Duck (inflatable boat) and Helocast water insertion training missions involving Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) Marines and began slow movement north toward the shoreline. As the aircraft went over the waters of the Santa Rosa Sound, the crew experienced degraded visual environments and tried to gain control of the helicopter. Approximately two minutes (8:21 pm) after going over water, the aircraft crashed in Santa Rosa Sound about one mile north of A-15. A second UH-60 in flight was returned-to-base (RTB) and landed safely. When you go home, Tell them of us and say, "For their Tomorrow, We gave our Today."
