Mike

My friend Sparky (Cameron) asked for a little description of Michael in the comments section of my last post. You got it.

Mike was a son, an uncle, a grandson, a nephew, a fiance, an animal lover, a Christian, and a very well-respected sergeant in the US Army. He and his fiance were to be married in August of last year. Mike died in a battle in Sadr City, Iraq, on April 4th, 2004. It is my mission to make sure my goddaughters, his nieces, remember him as a hero and a great man.

Thanks for asking, Sparky.
