a steak and beer coming up for Mike....I don't know how much time I will have with him...that Chinook that went down was one of his....he'll be spending time with their families.

From past experience I can tell you that those soldiers and their families are part of his family now. Support him and support and remember them through out the year.

Toughest letters I ever had to write home were the letters to tell the waiting wives, parents, family that their husband, son, brother was coming home for burial.
