I know Michael only 3 wochen! We were together in Poland in 2007 before he to Afghanistan moved. When I got to know from his Deadly, I was concerned very much and could not believe it... Heroes will never die. Staff Sgt. Mark Otto "German Army"

Your sacrifice will remain in our hearts for a lifetime,
with intense gratitude. May God bless you and your family.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms.
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heros never dies.

To the family of my fallen brother in arms. My life was touched by this fine American while we served together in Bco 2/504th PIR. Mike was always there for all of those who needed him. He was as excited as I was to see my first daughter born in January of 2002 and I will never forget the times we spent together in training and in Garrison. I knew that when I served with him in his first tour in Afghanistan, he was truly in his element. He had many gifts and it is truly an honor to have known and served with such a great man. If there is anyone who would like any pictures of Mike, I have a few from the time we served together at Fort Bragg. Just send me an email and I would be happy to share.
