To follow is a very troubling e-mail that I just received from one of Captain Mike's men:

My dear friends,

I forgot to duck. By the time most of us read this I will be on my way to Germany for treatment. The doctors have decided that I'm too severely injured to continue my job. I don't know when I be back stateside but I will let you know.

Michael Pierce
CPT, US Army

This message was dictated to me before the captain lost consciousness. I'm not a doctor so I can't tell you his condition. I can tell you that he did it right and saved the lives of several men in the vicinity. The unit sends its sympathies to his friends and family.

Personally, I found him to be the finest officer that I have ever known and am honored to serve under him. Again, you all have our thanks and our sympathies.

Marc Owen
1st LT, US Army

My fellow FREEPers,

I know it's been a while. Well i forgot to duck. By the time most of you see this I will be on my way to Germany for treatment. The war for me is done. My men continue to do the job. This last rash of bombings and attacks are being under reported and I don't know why. Al Queada is getting desparate. I don't know when I'm will RTS. But I do imagine that it will be soon. God I love wireless. LOL! Please keep praying for us.

This is CPT Pierce. To the FREEPers, keep the faith folks we will do our jobs. That is my promise to you all. Watch our backs back here in the world.

Right now we are waiting for transport north. And for obvious reasons I cannot disclose much more than that.

Thank you for your kind words and your support.
They mean a great deal to my men and myself.

I sign this to you folks ... socomofficer.

God bless America and all those who understand that freedom comes with a price tag.

Why is the email you have slightly different than the previous one posted?

Yes the other mail sails treatment; but doesn't specify a wound.

For a non MIL knowledgeable civ, that can mean decontamination, shots, processing....unless specify 'serious injury'.

What is up?

He said he was on his way home.

To be technical about it, he said he was on his way to Germany for [medical] treatment for his injuries.
