IMPORTANT UPDATE ON THIS MISSION

I have been advised that the family appreciates our offer to be there. However, that have requested that we not come. They do not want any type of extra attention at the funeral.

This mission is cancelled.

I passed along our deepest condolances to the family for their loss. Please keep PFC. Messer in your prayers.

A special thankyou to the brothers from Ohio who volunteered to do the recon work.

I am now working on the possible mission in London.
