PRAYERS NEEDED: FReeper Socomofficer [US Army Captain Mike] seriously wounded in Iraq

e-mail from one of Captain Mike's men | May 3, 2005 | FReeper Socomofficer [US Army Captain Mike]

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

What are saying he is gone.

[Howlin]

Sympathies?

[PAR35]

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

I read the 'I forgot to duck' to mean that he was hit.

[Howlin]

Cal? What does this mean? Sympathies? *Shudder*

Prayers going up.I hope we get more news soon!!

I just posted this one over there.

[Radix]

I cannot help myself for feeling a bit cynical and distrusting concerning this FReeper.

Soco M Officer. Please help me.

Who are you?

Medical was assumed in 'this' post, not previous. Treatment could mean other things to those that don't know the process, ie, shots, decontamination, or such.

[Fam4Bush]

Found this on a former thread...

RonDog,What does this mean.

[luvie]

Dear God, wrap your arms around this hero and let him heal! Be with his doctors as they do the things to tend his wounds!

[JennysCool]

I share your concern -- two threads going, one supposedly posted by the soldier himself, another "dictated" before he "lost consciousness."

[Texas Eagle]

Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother Capt. Pierce to you right now and ask you to restore him to health. Comfort him and his loved ones, Lord. Increase their faith. Pour out uncommon favor on them.

Bless Capt. Pierce, 1st Lt. Owen and all the men and women serving in the armed forces defending freedom around the world. Place a hedge of protection around our brave servicemen and women.

In the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Prayers for Captain Mike.

Captain Mike, a FReeper who was saluted in Los Angeles during the Hannity Tour in March 2005 is on his way to Germany for medical attention after getting wounded in Iraq.

[SteveMcKing]

He only seems to have 1 post, ever, plus this odd thread.


Dare I ask for evidence of this story?

[Colonel_Flagg]

Prayers on the way with my thanks for the ping.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers on the way for Socomofficer, his family, and his doctors.

Hiya Howlin!

I don't know yet. There is another thread posted with this similar text but 'edited'.

I'm waiting for answers. The threads have very similar wording.

Previous thread didn't say he was medically wounded.

Hold on sympathies and stand back for a moment. :)
