Hey guys! I just thought that I would bring this topic to your attention about my step cousin, Austin Tice. Austin is a free-lance journalist, embedded with the freedom fighters in Syria. About the middle of August he was captured by the Syrian regime and hasn't really been heard from since. A few days ago a short 47 second video was uploaded to You Tube that has my cousin in it.

Austin is a brother in arms like many of y'all that served our country in the military. He did a couple of tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as an infantry captain in the USMC. This video, according to the Middle East experts was staged by the Syrian government. They are trying to draw the heat from the US off of them saying that Austin was captured by Al Quaeda extremists, or some other terrorist faction. All I am asking is that you keep this young man in your thoughts and prayers for a safe return home! Thank you, Jeff |
