Godspeed Captain Rob Yllescas
http://www.blackfive.net/ main/ 2008/ 12/ godspeed-cap...RE: "Daddy has an injury" RE: Spiritual Warfare - CPT Rob Yllescas Yes, the news is not something that I wanted to have to share. After surgery to remove a blood clot in his brain (surgery was the only option), Rob passed away this morning. His blog has been updated and people are being informed in Afghanistan and Fort Hood. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with the Yllescas family and friends. LTC Markert, Rob's TF Commander (Raider), sent these photos to a friend. Rob is sitting, second from right. And here, again, second from right, back row.

Yes, the news is not something that I wanted to have to share. After surgery to remove a blood clot in his brain (surgery was the only option), Rob passed away this morning. Keep checking the Yllescas family blog for updates. Posted by Jonn Lilyea in Support the troops

Four and a half years ago, I was asked to post "Taking Chance" by LtCol Michael Strobl. It evoked one of the strongest reactions on BlackFive that I have seen since starting the blog in mid-2003.
