LCpl Kurt Dechen
One of Erick's closest friends, squad member and bunkmate, LCpl Kurt Drechen was killed on Thursday when their squad came under attack while on Patrol. (Kurt is the one with the huge smile who Erick is using as a pillow.)
Erick told mom that the fighting in Fallujah has been picking up because refugees are fleeing Baghdad and coming into Fallujah. With this influx of people there has been an increase in violence.
Please add Kurt and his family to your thoughts and prayers and say a few extra prayers for Erick.

Erick,
You probably don't remember me but I'm a good friend of your mom's from our college days. I was sorry to hear about your friend Kurt, I'll say a pray for him and all of you guys. Congrats on your promotion. We appreciate all you are doing, keep yourself safe and come home healthy.
