Trey was able to call this morning and I asked him about Sgt. McIlvaine. "Sgt. Mac" as they called him, was Trey's section leader. He was killed while they were out on patrol by an IED that they thought had been disarmed. There were others killed - another Marine, a Navy Seal, and many Iraqi army soldiers. There were three people injured. Trey and the rest of the patrol had to apply first aid and call for evacuation of the wounded.

He sounds ok...but it must be an experience that changes one forever .

Keep them all in your prayers - esp. Sgt. McIlvaine's family. He leaves behind two small children.
