Quoted from another forum, and attributed to 'The Star' in Calgary: "Master Cpl. Michael Loewen was seriously injured and will need major reconstructive surgery to save his arm, but he will survive, a surgeon says. Loewen was on his way Friday night to the U.S. combat casualty hospital at Landstuhl, Germany ".
Mike is a member of several modellers forums on the internet, and someone that I feel I know, although we've never met in person.
I just hope that he and his comrades get the treatment they need and then a fast flight home.
