  5. I cared for SPC Hensley in the OR and ICU immediately following his injuries at the NATO Role 3 MMU in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Nicholas made the Ultimate Sacrifice and my thoughts and prayers are always with him and his family.

  6. Would anyone know how to contact his wife? Someone is posting ads on CL using her information and trying to run scams on people. We know for a fact it is not her but someone needs to let her know.

  7. Alert the local press and local police if someone is using her info to scam people and alert CL too.
