Two U.S. Troopers Rescued From Chopper -Report Thu Feb 21, 7:30 PM ET
MANILA (Reuters) - Two men were rescued from the wreckage of a crashed U.S. military helicopter which went down in the southern Philippines early on Friday, a radio report said.
The dzRH radio station said the wreckage was found by fishermen and that two men were rescued. It did not give details and officials could not immediately confirm the report.
At least 12 U.S. troops were on the special forces helicopter, which was flying from the island of Basilan to the central city of Cebu, U.S. officials said.
The helicopter came down in the Bohol Sea off Negros island, about 410 miles south of Manila.

If this report is correct, can you imagine what the poor military families are going through right now, wondering if their loved ones are in the fortunate two? God bless our troops and their families, everywhere.
