Thank you for your support. FOX also said that the 2nd person killed was a "contractor" which would rule out my brother in law...prayers for his family. The family has yet to hear personally but I believe they will soon...have had many supportive posts and much appreciated.
We had a scare the night the chopper went down, killing 30 Marines and one sailor. My son-in-law is USMC, he's been in Iraq for seven months and is scheduled to leave after the election. He's a JAG, and spends a lot of time in choppers, going from one area to another. It was hours before my daughter on Okinawa heard from him.
I don't think anyone who has a loved one in Iraq can breathe easily until the loved one leaves there.
