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.

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.
