Prayers Needed

The families of TF Mayhem received a letter from Lt. Col. F.W.Charlonis. Here are a couple of condensed paragraphs of the letter. Please keep these families in you prayers, and please pray for our men and women serving there and for their safe return home to their families and friends. David was able to call me today. It was so sad and so reassuring all at the same time.

Families and Friends of TF Mayhem,

"It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to you. Yesterday, we had 2 Marines from Fox Company Killed as the result of enemy action. The vehicle they were operating struck an IED resulting in the death of Corporal Richard J. Nelson and Lance Corporal Dean D. Opicka. Lance Corporal David Doyle was injured in the attack and is recovering at a local Coalition Forces Hospital ."

"The Marines will continue their mission. We will pay our respects to our fallen brothers and like Marines have done in the past, we will complete our mission. We would dishonor the memory of these two warriors if we did not."
