You don't know me nor should you. I am contacting you with conflicting emotions. You and another gentleman P.L. were described as "my closest and probably best friends I've ever had". I feel obligated to pass this limited information to you. Your friend M.R ("DR" to us) has suffered a severe concussion, multiple broken ribs, and possible internal bleeding. Being the team lead I have accompanied him for treatment and observation in country. I will also accompany him stateside where he will be seen again.
Your friend is one of the most courageous and over the top men I've ever had the privilege of working beside. He exemplifies the motto bestowed upon him, "First There... That Others May Live" His memory is and probably will be fragmented
