2,000 sorties in next 24 hours

[Dan Murphy]

CNN reporting over 2,000 sorties to be held in next 24 hours, over 1,000 combat bombing missions, the balance support. 1,500 targets to be hit. They really seem to be stepping it up. Hopefully, with prayers, all pilots and support personnel will do well.
