InyaAzz Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Unfortunately, one of the soldiers in that Stryker vehicle is a good friend of David Hall's (killed on Aug 31st from Lorain) family. He's alive for now...but will lose his legs most likely. This was the latest I heard last night. That's the second Lorain soldier in less than a month.

OsuMj Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Very sad. Did they release names yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 No names yet. DoD has to wait until all families are notified. Expect names tomorrow.More info on Heath (see above). He was the one driving the Stryker. They are in a relatively safer part of the country..so this was not expected. One of his legs has been amputated...he has shrapnel throughout his body and burns over his face. The other leg *may* be saved. It sounds like there's a good chance he may lose it though. He's flying to Germany today, and then state side when he's stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
