Keep this American in our thoughts tonight.
Received sad news today from one of my sons. Seems his best friend a kid I've known since birth just informed him of a missing journalist in Syria.

This friend a 2X Purple Heart recipient served with Austin Tice in combat as a Marine in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Maybe both because he did and Austin was in the same Platoon. I have not talked to the friend yet because my son tells me to wait. So please keep him in our thoughts and if you are so inclined prayers.

I hope the best for your friend. I have great respect for any Western journalist venturing into such known violent and unpredictable regions.

Does not look good for this guy......http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-families.html

Still holding out hope!

Talked to the Marine who served with him recently and it was hard.
