I heard from my brother that Alexander was involved in the mission during which that Chinook was shot down. He was busy the following week in the search for the remaining Seal team and in going after the bad guys. He flies the Apache Longbow D.
Sounds like you or I had better put him on Kayak's prayer list if you haven't already.
He'll certainly be on my personal one from now on.
God bless these soldiers! I am in awe of what they are doing out there in The Twilight Zone.
Give him our best, and let us know if they need anything or simply would enjoy something.
