The news is not good. His 2 buddies and interpreter were killed. Mark was the gunner on top of the vehicle. He survived but had both legs amputated above the knee, lost a kidney and has 3rd degree burns on 70% of his body. He is on dialysis and they are still assessing him.
Here's the cnn report on what happened in iraq:
Elsewhere Friday, two American soldiers and an interpreter died and a third U.S. soldier was wounded when a roadside bomb exploded northwest of the capital, the military said.
The soldiers, from Multi-National Division-Baghdad, were on a routine route-clearance patrol northwest of the capital -- to assess the safety of the road -- when the incident occurred.

Please take the time to say any special prayers that you can. He, his wife and family really need them now. His family has put up a website to keep everyone abreast of his condition.
God bless you Mark...we love you.
