I've blogged before about some of Jordan's friends that are deployed, but I'd like to elaborate on one of them today. His name is Doug, and he is in the infantry. The picture here is from our wedding so you might recognize him if you were there. We did a lot with Doug our first 9 months or so of being here at Fort Benning. He is a one-of-a-kind, and I hope that you can keep him in your prayers. Many are needed to keep him and his platoon safe, as you will see in the last paragraph.
I'd like to copy part of an email that Doug's parents sent to Jack and Karol (my in-laws) a few weeks ago. Doug is stationed in the easternmost part of Afghanistan, which Jordan tells me is one of the most dangerous places to be right now. I'm warning you...this will give you the chills!
Doug is in Afghanistan - in the middle of it. The 101st "historians" arrived for 4 days to document the 96 hour battle he was a part of. It was the most significant battle of the 101st Airborne in the past 40 years. Doug was part of a 2 hour interview. General Petraus is coming there (FOB Joyce) today.
The Lord has shown Doug his absolute sovereign protection. Except for the miracles they have witnessed - over and over - he said he and half of his men should not still be alive. Many details to share sometime. He keeps his Psalm 91 bandana with him at all times.
