One of my agents went into the hospital about 10 days ago with
back pain and we have now found out it is Stage 4 Metastatic Lung Cancer, he is only 39.  Mark
is a former marine as am I and he serves on our Honor Guard for agents
funerals.  He did tours in Kuait and Iraq.  We are taking care of his house,
pool, kids and such until he gets home.  We applied for financial assistance
with Federal Enforcement Homeland Security Foundation and help from Marine
Corps Law Enforcement Foundation.  The agents union started up a gofundme page with
his situation and pictures and are starting other fundraisers.  I would appreciate anything you can give  

Donations for Mark

Jesus, hope he gets better, donation inbound from your OFO bretheren!

I would also recommend an expedited VLTP be set up; we had to do one in my office recently and the assistance of an elected official helped make the process very fast.
