Prayers appreciated for a young Marine in our life - Until '05 I pastored with his father in Upstate NY - I watched this boy grow up - always wanting to be a Marine.
Long story short - 3rd tour in Afghanistan - just got a call yesterday that he stepped on an IED and lost a few toes, along with some ankle damage. Being flown back as we speak. No one else in his team was injured.
We are told the mud absorbed a lot of the blast
will post updates as they become available
Prayers appreciated for him and his family
Thanks
Amen, dear Pegita.
