Survey Attacked
Message from 2/3:
BREAK BREAK BREAK (survey) and 2 Time reporters hit by grenade need medevac more to follow...........
Who was wounded?
I just heard that two guys from Time were wounded with 2/3. I guess that is what you meant by "too much going on". I hope everybody is relatively OK.
One reporter lost his right hand, the other some shrapnel to legs, both soldiers shrapnel but they are all ok and stable.
Was it anybody I know from Time?
No it wasn't anyone you know from Time. It was two other guys and I can't release any names right now. We also had three soldiers wounded in the same attack.The two Time guys and two of our guys had to be Air MEDEVAC'd from the FOB. Thank goodness we had just put in a brand new concrete helicopter landing pad and that SPC Grimes was the medic on the patrol. All should be all right.
