Oh CRAP.....this sucks. Dammit, dammit. Thanks, Dad, () for sending this to me ASAP.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A Black Hawk helicopter believed to be carrying 12 people has crashed in northern Iraq, and all aboard were killed, the U.S. military said Sunday. The helicopter crashed just before midnight Saturday about seven miles east of Tal Afar, the military said. Records indicated that it was carrying eight passengers and a crew of four, it said.

Can't the Red Cross or something fo a "Welfare Check" so I can find out of Jon, (jdbryce) is OK?

I'm sure he's okay.

I don't know how you can read the news everyday and not go crazy.

There's not BlackHawk crashes every day and he rarely goes off-base.

I just saw that on Yahoo. Like Heather, I'm sure he's okay, but will definitely be thinking of you guys until you hear from him. It's crazy that with so much communication, we still can't find out if loved ones are safe right away.

*HUGS*
