    Excerpt - TAMPA, Florida: A U.S. Navy admiral who won a Silver Star for his role in a famous 1993 battle to rescue downed Black Hawk helicopter crews in Somalia took charge Monday as the new commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command. Adm. Eric T. Olson, 55, is the first Navy officer — and the first Navy SEAL — to run the command, which oversees the military's elite forces fighting terrorism in more than 50 countries, including Iraq and Afghanistan. ~ snip ~
