I am begging you.

My uncle Bill is a wonderful man and public servant. He is not in the military, but has worked for the Pentagon and the State Department. He is currently posted in Afghanistan. Earlier today, he was critically wounded in some sort of attack, and is in a coma. He is too critical to evacuate from the country. My aunt is still trying to get more details, but info is sketchy right now.

Please pray for his life and recovery. He is an incredible person and loved and respected by many.

Thanks.
Meliesa
