Prayers for a Soldier...

One of the Soldiers we used to go to church with was injured in a helicopter crash in Iraq today. His name is Gary Linfoot. He broke his back and has several other smaller injuries, and as of right now he has no feeling in his legs at all. He is currently en route to Germany where he will have surgery. Please keep him in your prayers that the feeling comes back to his legs and he can make a full recovery. Please also remember his wife Mari, and his children Allyssa, Kylie and Hayden in your prayers. I know they have to be so scared right now. I'll keep you all posted as I know more. Thanks!

PS. I just heard that Gary's co-pilot, Greg Cooper, was also injured in the crash. Please keep him in your prayers as well.

Thanks for letting us know about your friend. I'm sorry he was injured. I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

I will pray for them. I am so sorry to hear this news. I can't imagine what his family is going through. Anytime I hear anything like this, especially if it involves a helicopter, it just hits close to home for me. Please keep us posted.

Praying right now. I know it's really early but is there any way his family could set up a caringbridge site?
