Blake called Friday night very upset. As a conversation starter, this isn't in my top 10 list of favs. "Wanted to talk with you about what happened before you see it on the news." Nope, you never want to hear that as the first words out of someone's mouth.
The base very near where he is was overrun and at least 2 soldiers lost their lives. Both were known to Blake and he was pretty shook up. Blake's group was in a big rush to get a plan together to get the helicopters there to evacuate the wounded, but unfortunately they were too late.
Please keep the families of these soldiers in your prayers.
On a more positive side, Blake thinks he's going to be home sooner than the end of June. Possibly the first of the month if all goes ok.
