How do military families handle communication when a service member is injured overseas?

Raymond Jasper was on a camping trip in New York State with his wife, Robin, when he got a phone call about his son, a soldier in Afghanistan.

In this case, families were being notified of the death of SGT Tyler Juden, a 23-year-old from Winfield, Kan.

“I said, ‘Oh my God you’re alive, I love you, I love you, you’re alive,’” Raymond Jasper, 49, said. The whole incident has the Jaspers looking for some answers. “No family should have to go through this,” Robin Jasper said.

After reading a Facebook condolence entry from the family, SSG Jasper’s female friend telephoned his father to inform him that his son was alive. She said she’d just spoken to him on the phone.

“I wish he could meet him. His dad is a hero,” said Taylor-Brown.

The mix-up took place Sept. 13 when Raymond Jasper received an urgent message from the family liaison in his son’s unit, the 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C. The liaison the wife of a unit leader deployed with SSG Jasper told Raymond Jasper that she had a “red line message” that she needed to read to him verbatim.

“I can’t speculate on how it was transmitted or how it was received,” Fickel said. The family liaison said she was not able to read the complete message before the call to the Jaspers was terminated. “It was the worst four hours of my life,” Robin Jasper said.

“She said, ‘I’m sorry to inform you that on September 12 SGT Juden and SGT Jesse Jasper were killed in Afghanistan,’” Raymond Jasper recounted.

The error was “not malicious” and came from a member of the unit’s family support group outside the Pentagon.

A spokesman for the 82nd Airborne Division said Jasper’s unit, through its family readiness group, notifies all families of deaths within the unit to prevent undue worry and misinformation. Callers are instructed to read from a written script to prevent misinterpretation.
