Michael's death impacted my life with tremendous emotional influence and force. Through pride, sadness, fear, anxiety and quilt I have thought about Michael just about every day since the day he was killed. Only recently have I told anyone about my thoughts and feelings and an now reconnecting with my military experience and the trauma of the war. For some reason beyond my understanding God has used my memories of Michael to direct my process. I love Michael as the brother I never knew. God Bless us all.

Mike was a bright and interesting young man. I hope that his family can find solace that Mike is remembered by others. I know they must still miss him.
