I need to inform you that earlier today Paul was badly injured in Ramadi, Iraq. I do not know the details as of yet. What I do know is that Paul and seven others were caught in a bomb blast. No one was killed. Paul was able to call Melissa after he got out of surgery.
He lost his right leg and has a number of broken bones in his left leg.I assume that he will be evacuated to the US shortly.
Melissa is pretty shook up about this. Because she is eight months pregnant, we are also praying that she does not go into labor prematurely.
As event unfold, we will pass them on to you.
