This young man is Marine Dan Cary born and raised in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He was shot in the back and sustained injuries there and into his abdomen by a powerful M16 while stationed in Georgia. The injuries are many.
He has undergone a second surgery to repair damages and is still in critical condition. He needs more surgery tomorrow; it will be his third one.
Throughout this horrific ordeal it would benefit Dan to receive the support of his community and beyond. His mother reads to him messages from Facebook and although he is intubated, unable to speak, he is able to let her know he likes hearing the messages.
Let us each send a message to Dan showing our support and a willingness to pray that he heals, gets strong and comes home soon.
Permission is granted to circulate by his Aunt Tina Russell. God Bless Dan Cary, his family and all of you for taking the time to read this and respond to one of our soldiers.
If you have any questions or want more detail, and there is much detail, contact Tina Russell via Facebook. Thank you for considering posting this…we want as much support as possible for our native son.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Hi Joey,

I’m not sure how I got linked to this but Danny is my nephew. He is undergoing his 3rd surgery at Shands trauma center in Jacksonville. It was an accidental shooting. We pray for Danny as well as the marine who shot him. I live in Rockport Mass. Danny’s home is in Gloucester Mass with his parents and his sister Jolene. Your kind thoughts, prayers and well wishes are very much appreciated by the Cary family as well his extended family.
