View Full Version : Your brothers need your prayers
Some members of an ODA team in Mali suffered serious injuries and there was one fatality due to head injuries during a windstorm on Saturday. The fatality was not a member of the team, but a soldier that had just arrived as part of an attachment.

My son is a member of this team, but for the grace of God, he was not in the tents when they blew out during a particularly strong gust. Please keep all of them in your prayers and thoughts. I do not know any of the names of those involved.
Thank you from a grateful parent.

The 4 injured are now stateside and at WR, the message I had was that POTUS himself met the plane, but I have not been able to confirm that. The Embassy in Mali has posted a release on the awards that the Malian government has bestowed on the soldiers.
