Prayer Request: Tony Mullis

[According to his mother,] Mullis and members of the 2nd Combat Engineering Battalion, Alpha Company, from Camp Lejeune, N.C., came under attack [and] he was "hit with" an improvised explosive device, or homemade bomb, she said, but details were still sketchy. [She] said her son's injuries resulted in amputations on both of his legs — a few inches below his right knee and a little above his left knee.

As he was being transferred through a chain of military hospitals on his way to a base in Germany, Mullis, who turns 21 next weekend, talked a nurse into giving him her e-mail address so his wife could send him a photograph of his son. But he was moved to another hospital before the picture went through, and as of Friday afternoon, Quigg said, he had yet to see what Cason looks like.
