Sad News

Christian Skoglund, one of my Wheaton friends and a Blackhawk pilot died today in a crash in Italy. Please pray for his family and his sister who was one of our Wheaties as well. He was my mentor and we shared some great times together in Iraq / Kuwait.

On the other side of things, I just arrived home. My mom is doing a great job at getting me back to health. I am on a variety of medications and drugs and I am just really swollen for the most part.

Sorry to hear that.

How are you doing with his death?

I'm doing fine. It's hard not knowing what caused it, although I am sure I will soon find out. The Blackhawk community is pretty small and everyone seems to know all the other guys.

Hey brother, I heard about Christian from Ben, too. Hard to swallow that happening outside of the combat zone.

How long are you home for? Me and Foust are still down here at Huachuca. Give me a call while you're in the area. 719-325-6828
