My thoughts and prayers go out to yours and his families. I have been there and lost friends in this war as well,just remember he gave his life to protect our children,and that alone makes him a hero.

Iam truley sorry for your loss, My sympathy's go out to you and his family, He is a true hero in my book! We must always remember that people like Mike and thoes who fought alongside him make this great country what it is! Sometimes we all take for granted what we have, and what others have fought for, when you read this Please take a moment to think about the other men and momen still over there fighting, and realize what we have.............................................. .............................

Hazcon7 i lost a friend last month to the war.. its tough. i still think about him all the time.. we were best friends in highschool and through college and also my best man in my wedding. i still talk to his wife on a daily basis. its hard. but one thing that helped me was reaching out to his Family. i take his youngest brother fishing all the time now and he reminds me of his brother all the time. he will live on through the memories of you and his family.

take care

Sorry for the loss, my prayers and thoughts go out to you and his family. He's a hero in my book. God Bless America.

I appreciate all of your kind words and will pass them along to his family!!!

My loss is nothing compared to his - I'm just happy to have known him.

As soldiers we all know the risks and each of us volunteered for the challenge. The men and women who have served past and present are owed a graditude that we can never fully give them. The closest we can come is to honor them by sharing their stories and for a few moments help feel their pain.

I honor Mike by sharing a portion of his story. You have honored him by listening and for a few moments feeling his pain. Thank you!

Please let his whole family know that we mourn his lose and that we are proud of every one of our troops over there. I thank God daily that my son came home in one piece from the war and from Afghanistan, I am hoping he will not be sent back, right now he is considered undeployable due to severe shoulder problems caused by a combination of football injuries and humping not only a normal pack, but a radio and batteries as a bonus.

Give his widow a hug from me and let her know her lose is felt by many who never even met him.

Hey Taz, give your son a big thank you from me!

Ditto what all have said. God Bless America and the hero's we have!

I hear people talk about their heroes "Michael Jordan, Roger Clemens, etc...
I teach my kids that true American Heroes are guys like you Haz and your buddy.
My families heart goes out to you your friends family. We appreciate and respect your brave service to protect our country and "We will never take it for granted!"
God Bless America!
