Matthew Uran survived the crash in Kuwait with serious injuries, now his family is praying he'll pull through.

BELLEVUE - A mother's love for her son has her contacting churches far and wide asking for their prayers.

"People all over this country are praying for Matthew," said his mother, Fabienne Uran.

During a recent training mission in Kuwait, something went wrong with Matthew's Apache helicopter.

"I guess it was a group of two or three helicopters, and we don't know what happened," said his father, Gary Uran.

What the Urans do know is that accident killed his co-pilot and left Matthew in a coma with head, pelvis and neck injuries. It's been more than a week and he still isn't conscious.

"You know why he's in a coma, because of brain trauma. But you never know when he's going to wake up," said Gary.

Matthew was preparing for a deployment in Iraq. He felt strongly that the people there needed America's help.

"Matthew is a dedicated young man, he is determined, he's just s super guy," said Fabienne. "He's been a great son," added his father.

This is the second time one of the Urans' six kids has been in the news. In 2003, their National Guard son, Jonatthon, witnessed a hit and run. He chased down the suspect and cornered him until police arrived.

"He said he hoped I got sent to Iraq and got shot. I told him that's fine, I'd still die for him," Jonatthon told KOMO News at the time.

"All of our six kids have been super people, just super young people," said Gary.

Now all of them are praying Matthew will pull out of the coma and finish his dreams as an Army pilot on the front lines. Matthew always knew the risks and he made sure his family knew why he took them.

"He was sitting on the couch, and he said, 'Mom, if something happens to me, I will have died doing something I loved,' " remembered his mother.

On Monday, Matthew will be transferred from a hospital in Germany to a facility in Washington D.C. His parents and wife will fly there too, so they can finally be at his side.
