DIAMOND — A Diamond Marine wounded in Afghanistan is back in Illinois, but on Wednesday, it was unclear for how much longer that would be.

Joe Trippiedi, vice president and co-founder of Operation: MOMS Cookies, has acted as a spokesman for the family of Cpl. Joe Singer, who was injured by a rocket-propelled grenade on July 12. Trippiedi and his wife, Debbie, have been in contact with Singer’s mother, Jennifer Cherveny, in the weeks following the attack and helped to coordinate a fund to support the family through the Morris Community Credit Union.
