One part of my prayers have been answered. Hope this great news spreads to include the other missing, all of them. Thanks for the ping sms.

Yeah, read about that yesterday. The gist of what I read was that we had some fresh intelligence that said we needed to hit that position immediately.

"Anyone reports on why they were separated...?"....

Col. David Hunt was on Fox via phone just as this was breaking. He said the group had been attacked and went into the mode (sorry can't remember what he called it) where they separate and try to get to a recovery area.

Probably he said "Escape and Evasion" mode.

Separate and avoid contact.

Under fire it is a good strategy.

I did not know they were under immediate ground fire after the impact. Bet they got a few kills if they were still capable.

Thanks.

Thanks for the information it seems that it is much less than 10, thank goodness. The one rescued will be able to give a lot of info about the others.

I think you are confusing those in the down QRF (MH47) with the SEAL Recon Team that is still "missing" - (of which one has now been recovered, alive! - Thank God)

Where are the other 5?

Praying they are in recon positions awaiting pick-up.

It is the Fourth of July here in my hometown...?

Still nursing the Glenlivet the wife got me yesterday to get me off this box...

I'm waiting to see what she offers today to lure me away. I have no doubt that I am likely confused. And those men on the ground in hell today are risking their very being to make this all possible, for me and millions of others. It is not likely possible that we can repay those men and women and their families for their courage and strength.

The best way we can repay them is to make sure that
those who would undermine them and give support to our
enemies are fought with equal determination here at home.

Have a happy 4th and God Bless America.

I am very happy to see this thread. I enjoy thanking every vet & military person I can identify. I have been lucky enough to meet many WW2 vets in my area & I always enjoy talking to them.

HAPPY 4th Of July!!!!

Thank God for this good news. I pray for the others. I can feel some reassurance since they are American soldiers.

That is what it is all about. It will take two shots center of mass to shut me down, this incarnation.
