Our prayers are for the crew of our B1. This kind of news makes me physically ill. God Bless them and their families. I know there are a lot of B1 Crew families watching this news with a sinking gut feeling, and broken hearts. Our prayers go to them too. We wait with them.. Praying for the best, and fearing the worst. Our hearts are in our throats.
