For all your information, I have a query in with the PPCLI Regimental Adjutant and other regimental contacts trying to find addresses for now and future where members can send messages to Mike.

I will keep you all advised as soon as I get any information.

Mike,

As the others have so eloquently put it: Godspeed. Recover, heal, be with your family and loved ones....those are the most important "things" in life. Forget not the others serving....those with Mike that were wounded, and the others that are out there doing their duty. Good luck, Godspeed, keep your heads down, and return to your loved ones.
