Art teacher Pat Wiederien’s son Nathan (Nate) Allen, 2006 AHS graduate, is in critical condition after an ambush of his team while on a mission in Afghanistan yesterday.
Allen, serving as a specialist in the US Army, is in “relatively stable” condition, according to Wiederien. Allen is currently being treated in Afghanistan, but will be transferred to Germany as soon as his condition allows.
Wiederien was able to talk to Allen by phone early Wednesday morning from his hospital in Afghanistan.
