Coalition Force helicopter goes down in Al Anbar
CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – A U.S. Army UH – 60 Blackhawk helicopter from 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing went down August 8 in Al Anbar Province with six Coalition forces on board during an area familiarization flight.
The aircraft has been located. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing for two missing crewmembers. The remaining four are in stable condition.
“We are using all the resources available to find our missing comrades,” said Marine spokesman Major Riccoh Player.
The incident does not appear to be a result of enemy action.
The incident is under investigation.
Father, be with the missing, and heal the wounded. I lift them up to You - You know where they are, and You hold them in the palm of Your Hand...
Let them feel Your Presence, and know you are God. In Jesus name I pray it...
Prayers for the healing of the four recovered crewmen, and for the two missing crew, and for their courageous families. I hope and pray that the two missing are recovered safely, and have not fallen into the hands of our enemies.
Joining you in prayer, dandelion. Amen.
bump to God
