Day of Mourning

I received a text message last night on our embassy emergency SMS system telling me that have another day off today, but for all the wrong reasons.  

Yesterday a military flight from Guinea brining the Guinean delegation to Liberia’s Armed Forces Day celebrations crashed while on approach to land at Roberts field.  Guinea’s Army Chief of Staff and 5 other top military officials died in the crash.  You can read about it here.  

We mourn with our Liberian friends Guinea’s loss.
