    Prayer Needed

    My best friend just got a call from his former CO's wife. She got word today that his Chinook was shot down in Afghanistan and he is MIA. They found parachutes on the ground but no bodies. They did not tell her where or when this happened just that it did.

    ***Update***I don't have any details or circumstances but he and the crew have been found safe and unharmed. Thank you for all the prayers.

      I wish him a safe return home alive and kicking. I can understand what your best friend is going through, one of my LT.'s in the Navy was shot down in Iraq. They found his plane, but never found the body. I truly hope your best friends old CO comes home safe.

        Parachutes? From a downed 47? CH 47 crews, unless totally different from the 46's, do not carry parachutes as jumping out of a crashing bird is suicide. Any more info?

            No more info at this point. This is also info coming from a woman who is emotionally destroyed right now. Thank you for all the prayers and will update when I can.

                  Prayers sent, and for all other who serve there. I just got back from Afghanistan after my third rotation. I hope and pray for his safety and safe return.

                    Fingers crossed for a safe return, and good stories over beers many years from now.

                      But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect

                              This is exactly what I was thinking.

                              Anyways, prayers sent. I hope all who are involved are safe and in a very good hiding place. Do pilots for helicopters go through SERE?
