News Report

Nick has always told me that if the worst should happen (God forbid), I will never learn of it on the news.  Even still, my blood pressure rises every time I hear that tragedy strikes overseas via media outlets. Here is the message that I sent to our soldiers' families and because you are members of our extended family, I'm sharing it with you...


Hello Lancer families,

It is my hope to quell any worries that you might have about the safety of your soldier with regard to the news report of a helicopter that was shot down in southern Afghanistan.  Col. Gaylor, our Brigade Commander, has asked that our families be made aware that the helicopter and it's crew DID NOT belong to the 101 Combat Aviation Brigade.  Our soldiers are safe.  

Praying for those who have lost loved ones,
 
Ali Horn
Bravo Co. 5-101 FRG Leader

  1. So glad your Nick is safe, Ali, and my heart goes out to the families who have different news.

    I think of you often, and always love your updates, Ali! And on a far less serious note, nice new blog design! :)

  2. Amen to that!!! Thanks for including us in your family for news updates like this....although I have NO doubt your heart drops farthest fastest, those of us cheering you & Nick on feel much of the same!

    On a much lighter note, your FRG is going to have one good vocabulary by the end of this year with words like 'quell' in your emails! haha!!
