I guess this is where I am: I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt. My speculation would be that this is an officer who signed up on FR and mostly lurks. Maybe in his area of duty he doesn't have time to post, but reads a lot. My prayers are with all of our military - and I KNOW yours are too. I'll just wait to see how this sifts out, and in the meantime I'll pray.
DFU - can you shed a little light possibly?
I met Mike at a KABC radio event. Others met him at the Oscars FReep. He said he was on one month leave but they cut it short to send him back for his third tour. He sent us a greeting when he got to Iraq but that was the last we heard until now. I don't know anymore than that.

U.S. military loses contact with two jets
San Diego Union Tribune & AP ^ | May 2, 2005
Prayers for the missing, prayers for all in harm's way.
Our men and women always need our prayers of protection, prayers of healing and their loved ones sometimes need our condolences as they mourn...
I am grateful for their service and their sacrifice.
Do you think he could have been a poster by another name for general chat and then took this name to be personal?
