Seminole Heights Marine wounded

One of our neighbor's son is a Marine Lance Corporal deployed to Iraq.

He was injured yesterday. His post was hit by a mortar and he received injuries to his hands and face. He was transported to Balad where he had surgery and they determined he needed to be sent to Germany for additional surgery. His left hand is the worst and they will try to repair as
much of the damage as possible.

He is in good spirits and for the most part sounds very good. He is expected to be in Germany very soon. The family's biggest concern is that he does not develop any type of infection in the wounds, and they are asking that this be kept in people's prayers.
