Charlie Company Update...

For those of you who have been watching the news, you know of the death of LCPL Aragon. This week has been hell for Charlie Company. Monday the company suffered the loss of LCPL Aragon and a serious injury to another Marine. Two days later 7 Marines were injured when their LAV was destroyed by an IED. Three of those Marines required extensive medical attention and will be coming home due to serious injuries, my brother being one of them. I am led to believe that the other 4 involved in this incident are in good shape and are back performing combat duties. Cory, from what the report reads, suffered a blown knee and broken leg as a result of the explosion. He is currently in the hospital at a military base in Afghanistan. It is not completely clear if he will be going back into combat of coming home. According to the higher-ups and Camp Williams, they will be bringing him home. Yesterday another IED attacked Charlie Company resulting in another Marine being killed in action. I cannot yet release his name. If you are interested in finding out who this young man is, just keep an eye on the news, They should be reporting on it either later tonight or tomorrow, that's just my guess.

LCPL Aragon will be laid to rest tomorrow in a formal military funeral. It is open to the public, the projected attendance number is already high into the hundreds. If you read this blog, please do not broadcast the events I have listed. Just keep the Marines of Charlie Company in your thoughts and prayers. If you have specific questions regarding the incidents please leave a comment with your email and I will answer them confidentially, if I am able to release the information you request.
