When William, a former U.S. Army Ranger studying in Bologna, saw that a Mogadishu Mile was being held in a small Italian town on Lake Garda, his first reaction was curiosity. “What did this little Italian town have to do with Ranger Regiment or Mogadishu?” he recalled thinking. On Sunday, he found his answer. William, who served with 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, joined five others for Torbole’s first MOG Mile, a one-mile commemorative run remembering the U.S. service members who lost...

Don Neder returned to Torbole with his sister Carol and friend Frank, reconnecting with Associazione Benàch and remembering his father, William “Bill” Neder of the 10th Mountain Division.

On POW/MIA Recognition Day, Associazione Benàch remembers the 25 U.S. servicemen lost with a DUKW on Lake Garda in 1945, and 1st Lt. Truman L. Allen, whose P-47 disappeared over the lake four days earlier.
