One Brave Soldier... a Hero.

Last week I received an e-mail from Aut Mary. Through a chain of communication, she had found out that a soldier had been hurt and was flying to Germany. I was able to locate him and visit him. CPT Yllescas was injured in Afgahnistan in an IED blast and was brought to Landstuhl. He suffered extensive injuries and is not out of the woods yet. Luckily, he made the flight from Landstuhl to Bethesda on Tuesday and they landed safely. I was very blessed to spend a short time with CPT Yllescas, his wife Dena, and their mothers at Landstuhl in the ICU. They are a very loving family with a long and difficult road to recovery ahead of them. CPT Yllescas and his wife Dena have two little girls who are hoping to see their father again. Please, keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.
