I received a telephone call this
morning from MSgt (Gunny) Cook. His brother, David, is currently
serving in Iraq as a civilian IT specialist assigned to the 1st
Armored Division. (He is also a drill status member of the Florida
Army National Guard). This morning, David was inside the compound
walking back to his tent from the gym, when insurgents began a
mortar attack on the compound. David was hit in the attack.
David was struck in the abdomen and
shrapnel was removed. He is currently being stabilized for transport
to Germany.
As more information is available I
will forward.
